Proud Of Our Origins
By Maggie McPhee

Living in a house or a chalet
doesn’t make you less of a Traveller.
It’s our culture, strong morals and roots
that make us who we are.

We have proud heritage and tradition,
handed down to each generation
that keeps our way of life special
and well worth fighting for.

We need to preserve our culture,
our stories, our craft
created by skilful hands,
our need to feel free.

These are just a few things to fight for and protect
so that the younger generation
can be proud of their origins
and never forget our history.
