I love the surprise in this poem--drawing back the curtain, and an old man with feathers is dancing. There is the rite of spring, and the rite of the Native American "smiling but hating us". The poem does justice to mention how the Native Americans once lived freely, and is now relegated to sanctioned lands and lore. Somehow, their "spirit" is revived with spring events. This poem has led me to read up on the Chippewa
history.
