Siksika Tribe Song
Tune: “Intervention” - The Arcade Fire

We leave our winter home
The future still unknown
The place a stranger at first glance, but we’ll give it a chance.

One look inside
And see the colors dancing in the night
You finally see the light, this camp and all its might.

Such different lives we lead,
But it’s here our souls will meet.
For the memories we’ve made, there’s a price you cannot pay.

Summers at Owego will shape our lives
The memories they give us remain inside
Every spark of friendship and love that grows within our hearts
Tells us that from camp, we should never part.

You can sense it’s near
This week that will bring us all to tears
We’re gonna fight, we’re gonna cry, together as one tribe

We’re gonna set the very first tone
This tribe we call our very own
Walking hand and hand with this team, it’s just too good to dream.

Frontier Week at Owego will strengthen our ties
Together as a family it’s do or die
Every spark of friendship and love resides within this home
This Frontier Week throne, we’ll claim it as our own.

Now the closing’s here
It’s been building up all summer as a fear
And the emotions to feel have been all too surreal

Blue, white, and proud
We are the colors, strong, brave, and loud
And when we finally shed a tear, we know we’ll be back next year

Time at Owego has shaped our lives
The memories it gives us remain alive
Every spark of friendship and love will be brought back to home
Let the word be known, we’re not in this alone

Let the word be known, we’re not in this alone
