Delores, queen
of the whooping crane rustlers,

1:16:05
wandered among the nests
of those great birds

1:16:08
who would rather go extinct than change
their lives to suit the ways of men.

1:16:11
Peyote buttons sang
in Delores' brain like a choir,

1:16:15
and above
that ancient chorus,

1:16:18
there eventually rose
the voice of Niwetúkame,

1:16:21
the divine mother, calling
her daughter to her muddy throne.

1:16:24
There the promise
of the third vision was fulfilled.

1:16:30
But what was said,
and what was shown?

1:17:14
It is woman's mission
1:17:17
to destroy as well
as it is to give birth.

1:17:20
We will destroy
the tyranny of the dull,

1:17:24
but we cannot do it
with guns...

1:17:27
or with whips...
1:17:29
oh no, we will destroy
our enemy in other ways.

1:17:35
The peyote mother
has promised a fourth vision.

1:17:41
But it won't come
to me alone.

1:17:43
It'll come
to each of you...

1:17:46
every cowgirl
in the land!

1:17:52
But first we have to end
all this business

1:17:55
with the government
and the cranes.

1:17:57
It's been positive and fruitful,
but it's gone on far enough.
