	Here is a poem, below are some words that have the common spelling
found in Gill's Chinook Dictionary,
	Some words are not included because the phonetic spelling is close
enough to be recognized. Next week will be an English translation.  The poem
is written primarily in CW for the sake rhyme and rythm. Hope this comes
through.
