We the Musqueam people are united and strong.
We have good hearts and will work together to do the right thing.
We will use our teachings so the Musqueam people will be alright.
We will care about our elders, the ones and everything on this earth.
That way we will be looking after the ones that come after us.
Then the Musqueam will continue to be strong.
