THE WHITE WAMPVM BY E·PAVLINE JOHNSON  Tekahionwake  LONDON: John Lane 1895 Toronto: The Copp Clark Co: Boston: Lamson, Wolffe & Co.

{iv} 

“And few to-day remain;
But copper-tinted face and smouldering fire
Of wilder life, were left me by my sire
To be my proudest claim.”

{v}

As wampums to the Redman, so to the Poet are his songs; chiselled alikefrom that which is the purest of his possessions, woven alike withmeaning into belt and book, fraught alike with the corresponding messageof peace, the breathing of tradition, the value of more than coin, andthe seal of fellowship with all men.

So do I offer this belt of verse-wampum to those two who have taught memost of its spirit—my Mother, whose encouragement has been my mainstayin its weaving; my Father, whose feet have long since wandered to theHappy Hunting Grounds.

E. P. J.
