Real Bushwoman
My mom calls her a real bushwoman.
‘Cause she’s always out in the bush.
Annie Nukon is her name.
An’ she’s my Mom’s best friend.
They always go out in the bush.
An’ Annie taught my Mom bush skills.
Mom and Annie would go out hunting
And they set net for fish too.
They go to the mountain to pick berries
And us kids would follow them.
Mom said she wasn’t afraid of nothing
‘Cause she was brave in the bush.
Annie had her tent at Crow Point
An’ that’s where she raised her kids.
They would set snares for rabbits
And give them out to elders.

And she always win snowshoe races.
