I am from the Golden Heart of Alaska
A town built on mining
Where all my siblings were born
Beginning of my life, one December morning
I am from different backgrounds
Native friends in Nenana
Mixed cultures in North Pole
White culture of Chugiak
I am from Interior and Southeast Alaska
Indian tribes of Tlingit and Athabascan
Villages of Rampart, Tanana, and Angoon
Hunter and gatherers of early Alaska
From watching Pooh Bear and Teletubbies
To saying "Der dah" and "Bot a bish"
Jumping on a trampoline from dusk till dawn
And being scared of bears in the water
