Niqi

Niqi is ....
Copper taste
of bright red life blood
encased in mellow
seal oil defined
refined
combined
into identity
into me
self connection 


Niqi is...
Tundra taste 
of deep flora green
striking memory
grandmother notes
Allowed
to be proud
of one
of many
of foundations
and stone


Niqi is ...
Love 
Pride
Identity
Family
opposite of need
opposite of want
it is

Wealth




(Niqi translates roughly into english as food/meat......or Inupiaq Food)
