lyrics

“The wreck of five houses in a prominent village.” That is what the Chinook woman told them. In their journals Lewis and Clark recorded that the young woman had somehow survived, badly marked by Smallpox, her people had all died from the sickness that now scarred her face. This disease arrived with the boats from Hudson Bay, traveled along rivers and inland waters. Along with the fish and the news, the people brought this strange fever to their relatives, to those they loved. Until there was no one. Their tribe nearly decimated.

Take me down where the river meets the lake
this is her gravestone
he brought gifts and promises laced with lies
from Hudson Bay
break me into the captain’s house
built with greed, bones still standing
white tomb lies where her spirit broke
it was her death, they called it a wedding

she outlived the boats crashed into her coast
white bones in the ocean still wash up in Deadman’s Cove
marry me, bury me, specter’s eyes see through history
tame me or rename me but this is still her coast
she outlived the boats crashed into her coast
white bones in the ocean still wash up in Deadman’s Cove

take me down where the river meets the lake
this is her gravestone
he brought gifts and promises laced with lies
from Hudson Bay
break me into the captain’s house
built with greed, bones still standing
white tomb lies where her spirit broke
it was her death, they called it a wedding

I walked through the trees
crawled on my knees
laid my hands onto the shore
gave up your ring
false hopes and dreams
all the things that came before

there’s a lighthouse
where a longhouse used to be
there’s a white house
where a longhouse used to be
there’s a lighthouse
where a longhouse used to be
there’s a white house
where a longhouse
used to be...
