kaanak raakat sirkewiš miryan
My name is Black Sage
kaanak hiini ne warép
I am from Ohlone land, this beautiful place
kiš holye ta-k holše somwrero
Find me with my elegant purple crown
‘umunhumikma ‘at pinnanikma ya kiš hityu
Hummingbirds and bees they love me
‘at kaanašk hityu waakamak ‘ayye
And I love them too!
hemmenya hityu ‘ek huse ‘at naani
My scent is very sweet
hoosi leymon ‘at kuččuš tiwwiš
Reminiscent of lemon with floral notes
himmen horše tawwa sii kaanak ‘ukšeerey ‘ayye
A delicious iced tea I make, too
hiini-t mak nuunu nommo mak-warép
Part of Ohlone culture here in the East Bay
kaanak raakat sirkewiš miryan
My name is Black Sage
