Lake Baker
This is Lake Baker. This is a big place, a big lake. Big and white. That’s him there. That’s the Wanampi (water serpent). Wati Wanampi. Watersnake man. He is there at this lake. This is his place. He lives here. All this place is white and that watersnake man is white … Always the same place, Lake Baker. That’s because it’s my place. My father’s place.
