All the tribes beheld the signal,

Saw the distant smoke ascending,

The Pukwana of the Peace Pipe.

Indian Warriors (to each other, pointing):

Behold it, the Pukwana!

By this signal from afar off,

Bending like a wand of willow,

Waving like a hand that beckons,

Gitche Manito, the Mighty,

Calls the tribes of men together,
