John Trudell, Crazy Horse - The Original Video

Crazy Horse, from Bone Days by John Trudell. To those who have gone on before us.
Wounded Knee Massacre December 29, 1890.
Lest we forget
Thank you "ooNATIVEoo" for putting this on your channel to share John's poetry and my Imovie skills (whatever they may be).

The video is my work to the poetry/music of John Trudell and I am grateful for all the comments that people have left over the past 10 months. The more people that are touched by the spirit of this video the better. Sharing work is good medicine providing you honour the creator (in both senses).



Here are the lyrics.
credited Trudell/Sahme (aka Quiltman)
Crazy Horse
We Hear what you say
One earth one mother
One does not sell the earth
The people walk upon
We are the land
How do we sell our mother
How do we sell the stars
How do we sell the air
Crazy Horse
We hear what you say

Too many people
Standing their ground
Standing the wrong ground
Predators face he possessed a race
Possession a war that doesn't end
Children of god feed on children of earth
Days people don't care for people
These days are the hardest
Material fields material harvest
decoration on chains that binds
Mirrors gold the people lose their minds
Crazy Horse
We Hear what you say
One earth one mother
One does not sell the earth
The people walk upon
We are the land
Today is now and then
Dream smokes touch the clouds
On a day when death didn't die
Real world time tricks shadows lie
Red white perception deception
Predator tries civilising us
But the tribes will not go without return
Genetic light from the other side
A song from the heart our hearts to give
The wild days the glory days live

Crazy Horse
We Hear what you say
One earth one mother
One does not sell the earth
The people walk upon
We are the land
How do we sell our mother
How do we sell the stars
How do we sell the air

Crazy Horse
We hear what you say
Crazy Horse
We hear what you say
We are the seventh generation
We are the seventh generation

Sad! Wasn't there hundreds of tribes? Many wiped nearly or some wipe out. So many are unheard of any more. I am part Ojbwe and most have never heard of that nation! And it's still a good sized nation. But we are all God's people created in His image. I pray for salvation of all and forgive. That's is how we recieve healing and forgiveness ourselves.God loves all!

John is a threat to them because he is articulate and intelligent, like our leaders from back in the day. We love John. His voice, his life, he has walked the walk as a human being. He speaks for us. I don't know what "We are the New Indians" means. The only new NDNs are our children, not "New Age" wannabes imagining they are us. People need to be happy in their own skin. Putting feathers on doesn't make you a Tsalagi anymore than doing the moonwalk makes me black.

[Kerstin S.]

OMG, I LOVE HIM!

NO history books teach this. No one in USA understands they walk upon the dust and bones of over 40 MILLION+ Native American peoples. They should be taught to feel the shame of its vanity, it's ignorance, it's greed.
