"Moving Camp Too Far" by Nila Northsun

After reading some of Nila Northsun's background this poem has even more meaning than it does if you just read it. She was active in the 70's and 80's in the Indian Movements. She wrote about how she was sad about losing the heritage known by her people in the past, how she still lives it in a way, the nomadic traveling from pow wow to pow wow in the campers and Winnebagos, and how unfortunate she feels because of this.
"Moving Camp Too Far" could also mean that Native Americans have truly moved their camps too far from their culture and it may be lost. Traveling to the pow wows is a way to keep their culture alive, but stopping "to eat buffalo meat at the tourist stand" (cyber-learning.com, Ln 17-18)is a long way from hunting the buffalo to live to survive.
