Canlowankiya - performs Periwinkle - Columbus had six sailing ships.wmv

Performed by Thomas Richter, Canlowankiya.
This Song is originally written by the american indian artist PERIWINKLE in 1981.
I can't find this song, or other songs from her here on Youtube.
I think this song is very good and important...especially on "Columbus Day" - so I recorded it on my own. I hope if she might find or see it, she will be not too disappointed with my version.
The Story behind the song was inspired by many of the Indian jokes about Columbus as well as a parody to counter the usual historic misinformation.

First person: "Yuh know - Columbus had 6 sailing ships! Did ya know that?"

Second person: "No, I didn't. What happened to the other three?"

First person: (making appropriate hand gesture)
"Oh - sailed right off the egde."
