  • This is the most incredibly passionate song, a work of genius. It refelects an experience of subjucated indigenous people everywhere. After waiting for 20 years, finally saw Buffy in Glasgow in 2010, an amazing concert, a truly inspirational individual.

  • OMG I almost cried when this was taken down. Now I can watch it whenever I want! And... cry... lol

  • man that's some quiver she's got going,puts Glen Yarborough into my head

  • actually australia has the largest aboriginal population in the world, still small thou

  • She is... brilliance.

  • still as relevant as ever!!!! how many different ways do you americans have to have it before you get it????!!!! get down & get with it already.

  • SHE MAKES MY 1/8TH CHEROKEE BLOOD LEAP FOR JOY. I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED VERY DEARLY, THIS WONDERFUL POET. THIS IS A SHINING EXAMPLE OF WHAT THIS VIBRANT AND BEAUTIFUL SWEETHEART CAN DO. COULD DEAN AND BRANDO PRESENT THEIR TALENT ANY BETTER THAN SHE. LOVELY AND STRONG, PIERCING AND HONEST. AND TO BE ON RAINBOW QUEST TO PERFORM THIS MASTERPIECE WITH PETE LISTENING IN THE BACKGROUND."IT'S MY WAY", "SOMEBODY ON YOUR BOND", "MAGIC IS AFOOT", "CODINE".... AT HOME SINGING OTHERS OR HER OWN WORKS. BUFFY.

  • I Love Buffy Saint-Marie,

    back in highschoool i wrote about what this song meant to me...

    i got 100% on the assignment.

    i seen her twice, perform once in London, Ont and sign autographs in Toronto at the pow wow.

    She's fantastic. :)

    This song is soo powerful.

  • I listen to this every thanksgiving. Relevant, passionate, and beautiful....I love Buffy

  • I've never heard a song say so much so well. Who could fail to be moved by this?

    Tragically, its not just an American story either; the aborigines here in Australia have it even worse.

  • I remember crying bitterly the first time I heard this song 37 years ago. It's just a powerful today.

  • @so77ars English, with a capital E.
