When a child my mother taught me the
When a child my mother taught me the
legends of our people; taught me of the sun and
sky, the moon and stars, the clouds and storms.
She also taught me to kneel and pray
to Usen [God] for strength, health,
wisdom, and protection.

but if we had aught against any individual
we ourselves took vengeance.
We were taught that Usen does not care
for the petty quarrels of men.
