Mahk Jchi lyrics written by Pura Fe'

Lyrics:
Mahk Jchi tahm booee yahm pigihdee
Mahk Jchi tahm booee kahn spehwah ehbi

Mahmpi wah hoka yi nonk, tah hond tahni kihyee tiyee
Ghee weh meh yee-tiyee, Nanka yaht yah mooniyeh wahjhiseh

(English translation)

Our hearts are full and our minds are good
Our ancestors come and give us strength
Stand tall, sing, dance and never forget who you are
Or where you come from
