Poetry of indigenous peoples from Turtle Island and Abya Yala that has lived on my shelf as a reference and teaching tool for many years, but I have never read completely through! It's so old now, I'll be curious about its notions of inclusivity.

The “Red Indian’s” Penultimate Speech to the White Man
https://www.sustainlv.org/focus-on/the-red-indians-penultimate-speech-to-the-white-man/

When
Ibofanga,
Hesaketvmese
Breathed life
Into the
Red clay
From the
Nunne Chaha
Could he
Have known
In all wisdom
What terrors
Would
Wait under
Brother moon
Sister sun.
Cvhēcetskes
Pull me out,
Mold me
Away from
This.
