Looks like a group of overgrown kids who have watched 'The Searchers' a million times over. Is that meant to be a side step? The leaders whose names they prostitute were amongst some of the greatest the world has ever known. This is NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY REAL INDIGENOUS CULTURE PAST OR PRESENT. Even if one tried to teach them the 'REALITY' of indigenous cultures, which are the most expressive on earth, they simply would never get it. Sad, distorted, vile, cruel, make believe, ridiculous.
had brill nites in bundoran + salthill last year with the five chiefs.looking forward to seeing u again this year.noel u are a ledgend.greats bunch of singers + musicians.
wonder how these guys would like it if a bunch of native americans started a band called the Celts and started singing those old irish songs you only hear once a year when everyone gets drunk and stupider
Get a life, we know more about the Indians now then we use to do, took them long enough to decide THAT THIS IS RECIST where were they till now, let them enjoy the music
I wish YouTube's reasons for finding a video inappropriate were more descriptive. This band is racist and promotes negative stereotypes of American Indians. They have been asked by Natives and their allies to change their name and costumes and remove the racist songs from their repertoire; they have refused.
The Indians are an Irish showband who decided they needed a gimmick in order to make an impression on the music scene in the U.K. back in the 70′s. Ireland already had enough cowboys, so they decided to become Indians. They decided to become the stereotypical caricature of Plains Indians. Went a step further and used the names of respected warriors as their stage names. Complete and total disrespect. The band promotes negative stereotypes of American Indians. They should retire.

Try listening to real "Indian" music. There is so much of it, Joanne Shenandoah, Ulali,
Robert Tree Cody, Robbie Robertson, Red Bull etc...

I am extremely sad that such misconceptions of our culture is potrayed
How would they enjoy a glorification of the Black and Tan?
