Verse 1

Them devils came to the village posing as priests stealing children from
they homes took and placed 'em in a school to replace and undo what they

stripped down from ya custom attire ya skin scrubbed till it bleed put his
clothes in a fire and bury
his items replace 'em with ours give 'em a bible teach 'em to read bleach
'em indeed if he speaks one word of his tongue no songs sung from the
homeland wich he learned as a
young buck from a old sage in the village to a school made of brick were
they plan was to kill 'em save the man was the modo sodomized dramatized

It's sad how Native Americans today have no idea their Native American at all.

Majority of the Natives evacuated their tribes and mated with other races.

Now, we look nothing like our native brothers and sisters. I wish, the world wasn't racist cause when your not just 1 race, all the other races will treat you like crap.

I'm not a full Native American but i wish i was. I have no connection to my Native American family to this day. And, i feel I'm missing out in life...

"i <3 this song ='(" TY

I am one of the irish descendents of the Famine, can not go back to a land occupied by the Brits. This is my home where I was born and I support the Native people in word and deed. I wrote a book Return of the Ancient Mariners to show how tribal living is better than living in this fragmented society today always under threat of totalitarian war.

@TheBrradsullivan it was actually mainly disease and not superior military prowess - the Great Plains Comanches were superior in warfare but the Whites killed their food supply (Buffalo) and brought disease like smallpox that decimated the clans....

[Shukaji]

can somebody please show me where to find the instrumental of this peace of art? thanks

[LizzieCornish]

@nativeAMERlCAN Then **find** your Native American family, find your relations..and find the missing part of your heritage.......of you.

[sillysilvergirl1357]

The begging (music) scared the shit out of me.

[janekidd]

Loved your music! Great job! I hope you go far...your talented!

[gotveggieoil]

its been a long time...Have you realized yet that everything isn't racial??? I hope you have also realized that racism isn't the enemy of Mexicans or any other "minority". Classism is the preferred way to discriminate and if you are not a billionaire elitist, you are in the same boat as me and 99% of the rest of the world...

@TheBrradsullivan

actually i'll be the one too clarify & enlighten your past judgement & judging by the Sullivan in your username you may be of European decent (of course you are) & the indigenous human beings welcomed the Caucasians, but they had not known of their intentions. Also they did not comprehend how an individual could own land to himself. The natives were seen as the first work-force but 90% died due to smallpox in the Americas.

This song is very powerful!!! my people are native to AUSTRALIA. The very same thing happend to us. They took our children, masacred thousands, stole our lands and introduced us to diseases and made the surviving descendant soscially disadvantaged while the immagrants prospered. Non-Indigenous people will never understand these injustices. Europeans are the downfall of the human race, for their culture is a culture of consumers, (Westernized) with an appetite that cannot be filled!!! [--o--]

[TheBrradsullivan]

@murderofcrows666 no its over, your culture is gone, your people are completely westernized (this video is evidence of that), your land is occupied....theres no conflict/ civil war or great social upheaval thats going to re establish any independant indian state. and lol at your " our young braves " hahaha and the " we're good at war " ...ya is that why your entire continent of people were conquered by a couple thousand pasty malnourised settlers in a generation!! ...im not racist, im a realist

[cheytea]

Great Video!!! And to think, the same thing is still happening today. All us Indigenous nations must continue the fight to survive as one nation to the end
