Song:
WE ARE INDIANS BRAVE
We are Indians brave
And all our strength we save
To keep all other tribes subdued.
None can ever daunt us
None can ever flaunt us
We will keep our faith renewed.
For we are the Delawares you see
Delawares we always want to be,
We are Indians brave
And we are not afraid
Because we are the Delawares.
I'm a Delaware born, I'm a Delaware bred
And when I die, I'll be a Delaware dead.
Singin' How-How for Delawares
How-How for Delawares, how-How for Delawares, Delaware tribe.
Thunderbird will reign on high
Win this camp today or die.
Singin' How-How for Delawares
How-How for Delawares, how-How for Delawares, Delaware tribe.
