DAGOO FOLLOWED THE BIRDS
THE GWICHIN LEGEND IS VERY OLD
ABOUT THE MAN WHO DISLIKED THE COLD.
HE WONDERED WHERE THE BIRDS GO
WHEN IT STARTED TO SNOW.
DAGOO FOLLOWED THE CARIBOU HERDS
NOW HE WANTED TO FOLLOW THE BIRDS.
THE WINTER WILL DO THEM HARM
SO THEY FLY TO A PLACE THAT’S WARM.
DAGOO LIKED THE TIME OF SUMMER
BUT THE COLD AN’ DARK WAS A BUMMER.
DAGOO’S TRIBE HAD TO HUNT TO STAY ALIVE
BUT THE COLD MADE IT HARD TO SURVIVE.
WHEN A COLD BREATH CAME OUT OF HIS MOUTH
DAGOO DECIDED TO WALK SOUTH.
HE COULDN’T FLY WITH THE FLOCK
SO DAGOO HAD TO WALK.
DAGOO LEFT HIS TRIBE BEHIND
TO FOLLOW THE LAND OF SUNSHINE.
HE LEFT HIS LAND WHERE EVERYTHING FROZE
BUT NOW HE DIDN’T NEED HIS FUR CLOTHES.
DAGOO WALKED TO A PLACE WITH NO SNOW
WHERE LOTS OF FOOD GROW.
THERE WERE DIFFERENT ANIMALS TO EAT
AN’ HE DIDN’T NEED SNOWSHOES FOR HIS FEET.
DAGOO LEFT BEHIND HIS WARM MUCKLUKS
BECAUSE HE FOLLOWED THE GEESE AN’ DUCKS.
