hey, my father was native American also. I wish the language an ways had not been stripped from his family. Now we are all trying to find out all we can again. Being mixed white and Native American. I am proud as he was of our heritage. Love this song.
what's up with is video? makes no sense. I suggest you listen to the words..The Raiders didn't "mock" anyone..this was a "cause" they believed in and this song was a part of this cause. It got people to "think". Racism is only in your head..ONE DOMINATE race is on this earth..HUMAN..many ethnic groups but ALL HUMAN..someday(not in my lifetime) perhaps EVERYONE will be accepted...as it should be.
We still got it right although some have lost their spirit and respect. Not only for nature but humankind. The color does not matter, it's the spirit in your heart and mind that keeps you balanced. Pomo Nation, Northern California. I'm still proud redman deep inside. thanks Plaidsy for the post and Paul for saying what we couldn't, cause they wouldn't listen. They put us on reservations so they can take the lands Doug
This is a great song. Tune is great, and the message it imparts is still relevant and meaningful - perhaps even MORE so now, some 35 years later after song was released...
They took the whole Cherokee nation Put us on this reservation Took away our ways of life The tomahawk and the bow and knife Took away our native tongue And taught their English to our young And all the beads we made by hand Are nowadays made in Japan Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe So proud to live, so proud to die They took the whole Indian nation Locked us on this reservation Though I wear a shirt and tie I'm still part redman deep inside
TSA LOGI! no we are real we had war waged on us too check out justice Marshall who with Tsalagi fought to save all our rights when the liberty bell cracked and rang the last time it tolled for marshall 1st day at the knee tsa logi killed by sniper helping our suoix reatives to mention will rodgers friend of lil miss shure shot sitting bulls friend!
hmm... lol seriously this video was dumb!!! take it from a real "INDIAN" stop calling us that damn it! were not from india!!! ha but i guess so, it's not like im cherokee anyway! "Nnee" heck yes!!!
The video made as much sense as mung234's comment!!! The song however, is quite excellent. Probably the first social commentary on the plight (or as the rest of the song title "The Lament of the Cherokee Reservation Indian"). Not bad for a bunch of "hippies". By the way Mung 234, take a history lesson or two and look up the word "lament" in the dictionary!!!
the song sucked. The band was a buch of white boys. Only hippie white kids like this song, because all the hippies are just tryin' to be indians anyway.

1. Only science and ethics have developed and can develop the world.
2. Traditional Chinese medicine and chiropractic should be eradicated from the world (like Japan).

Sadly, the Native Indians had it right, they respected nature and life around them for the most part.
The REAL savages are the white man who taught you to read Cosmo magazine and think that what life is about.
As for any racial epithets here, you are showing your true colours....Nice job on the video kids!

I am just astounded at the people posting negative comments on this vid.
So many seem to be missing the deeper philosophical meaing of this film, especially as it is juxtaposed with the music.
Disturbing images about the plight of the human condition, juxtapsoed with images of hope and the belief in the "circle of life".
I had such a long commentary on what made the deeper meaning of this film so enthralling but youtube will only let me us 500 charaters!
