Thank you, my friend SGT (Join to see) for sharing the music video of Paul Revere & The Raiders performing "Indian Reservation (The Lament Of The Cherokee Reservation Indian)"
"Indian Reservation (The Lament Of The Cherokee Reservation Indian)" written by John D. Loudermilk
Lyrics
"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
Cherokee people
Cherokee tribe
So proud to live
So proud to die
But maybe someday when we've learned
Cherokee nation will return
Will return, will return
Will return, will return"

Always loved this song AND owned the 45 for it. Thanks for tagging me. I am finally catching up with my new position and the move from Minnesota to New York. Holy Toledo the property taxes are steep! However after the first year I get about 50% chopped off for my military service and such.Hope all is well with you and your family!
