Buffy Sainte Marie - "Now that the Buffalo's Gone"

[AMELIAPONES]

It sounds like someone is shaking her by the shoulders.

[doUcare4music]

Ahhhh !  how i'd love to see her ...

[soogoonu]

cant say why this woman makes me wont to cry. Shes so dense and touching - God praise the who today made me know her.

[jeana1001]

A great song and a wonderful singer/songwriter.

[hap1951]

[hoppy900]

My heart still hurts when I hear this song...

[helldog134]

Every time i hear this song it hit me hard I'll never forget happen my forefather Native pride

[OtisFan1]

Great song, great singer. For listeners new to this song, the lyrics posted here are from her original version in 1964 on her first album, "It's My Way." The version you're listening to here is from a 1996 album. She obviously updates her own lyrics.

[penel100]

Yes, a truly remarkable voice. The hair stands up on the back of my head each time I hear this song. Thanks, Buffy, for being such a passionate and dedicated singer and for ALL your songs

[SensaiMan]

Another great song, that tells the truth, the white man never learns, greed takes over.

"When will they ever learn"? Perhaps when there is nothing left of this world.

God bless the USA.

THE TRUTH SHALL BE REVEALED

[LadyMoondancer]

orvgg,

as a sassy black woman, you of all people SHOULD appreciate this song. You didn't get your land stolen from you, you were stolen from your land. either way, it was wrong.

[orvgg]

As a sassy Black woman I don't appreciate this song.

[FreedomforHaiti]

There appear to be discrepancies between what she sings here and the written lyrics (perhaps because in some cases she has changed words of her songs over time? I've noticed this with Universal Soldier, anyway). I think the last part of this song actually goes "The governments now want the Navajo land, that of the Inuit, and the Cheyenne..."

[jonnebonn]

America belongs to the indians! wonderful song

[soogoonu]

@jonnebonn dont take as a critic, but yours is a funny statement, 'cos America and the whole universe belongs to nobody and so nobody can claim it belongs to him a single stone, that's the very source of the problem native americans had and the whole word got, today as well.

[edithhughes]

please show respect and get the words right.

[Buffalomovie]

Every person who thinks that they are "American" must listen to this song

[TheHonda550]

@liralen42

It is sad to think of all those who stand on North American soil who have no clue to their past?!

[jerryneyk]
