"The welcome figure mutely stands,
Beside the lodge of the West Coast Chief,
With arms upraised, shoulder high,
Huge palms turned up toward the sun,
To tell you that his heart is open to all men.
Limbs of thigh and arms are beyond compare
For up into the world he must reach,
Right into your own very life to bid you
Come, enter, stay awhile and share with me."
George Clutesi
