Paul Revere & The Raiders - Indian Reservation (The Lament Of The Cherokee Reservation Indian) Lyrics

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF FALL!

I'm proud of my Cherokee blood may not be full blood but enough to make me Cherokee more than two third and this song so true. Now we don't even know the proper language. My grandfather could speak Cherokee but got lost after his death my mom and sister never learn but there dad talked all the time to his uncle in native tongue I want so bad to learn proper Cherokee

I guess I am part of and older generation this was on American Bandstand when I was like 13.. love them as one of my ancestors was an Indian

AMERICAN PRIDE#1

Are the band members Native American?

Good Song.

Hermoso tema musical. No lo olvidaré. Los rubios la tienen clara.

Love this song, but the Bowie knife has nothing to do with Indians. They didn't work steel and the Bowie knife wasn't even invented till 1830.

This is the best song describing what the Indians went through and still are

I think I heard the backstory to this song through an old Casey Kasem recording...

Amazing song. I’m 1/8 Cherokee

The thing is I am of Norwegian desert and we were instrumental in the fall of the Cherokee nation

The lament so beautiful

Awesome song and tribute to Cherokee People. Malcolm in the Middle brought me here!

This one of my favorite bands when I was a teen.Love this song & The Raiders😍 I didn’t really understand it back then. Those were the days of the TV western & many of them told a different story.

in Europe we will be the Indians.....

Thank you honey for sharing this with me tonight ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Can u imagine this song could not be made today! BUT THE TRUTH STILL REMAINS! AMERICA PLEASE DON'T FORGET! ALL TRIBES! THE TRUTH OF NATIVE TRIBES SHOULD BE HELD IN HIGH REGUARD. REMEMBER WHO TAUGHT THE ENGLISH TO SURVIVE IN A FOREIGN LAND. THEY GOT PUSHED AND KILLED FOR THEIR KNOLEDGE. ENOUGH SAID!

Apache here good song

brilliant song

O really love this sont

my social studies teacher showed us this lol

This song alone should have these guys in the Hall of fame.

It deeply disturbs me to know the genocide committed against the Indians of this nation and is one of the many things that makes me ashamed to be called an American. We will never know the true depth of their suffering and the wrongs committed against them by a tyrannical government who STOLE their land and way of life. To all Indians, there are no words that could ever express how deeply sorry I am. It will always grieve my spirit for what my government did to your people.

I love this song being I'm part Cherokee,but man,that Drummer needed to work on his fake playing.

The singer here: Mark Lindsay. Great Mark in the Paul Revere & The Raiders group!

God yes

Question: Were they from Oakland or LA.

Richard Hommel. . Boise Idaho

I am the Cherokee Man, bless.

I'm choctaw/cherokee and irish from the OK trail of tears people...I've been told I have the scariest face they have ever seen. My wife looks like a beauty queen...Try and explain that to me

I'm Cherokee

The relocation of the Cherokee tribe from the states of North Carolina,South Carolina,Georgia,Eastern Tennessee on the Trail of tears in the 1830’s was the beginning of forced racial segragation & those damned ugly,racist Jim Crow laws plantation owners didn’t want the true Americans around them & the freed blacks & slave blacks. It was one of the many wrong doings that was & is still unjust that was done to the Native Americans. If it weren’t for the Native American helping the English,Dutch,Spanish,Swedish,Amish,& Quaker settlers how to survive and adapt, most of those settlers would have given up and/or died.

I’m latino but this song is the truth the Indians deserve respect the Cherokee too is to rise up

Rock n roll Hall of Fame snubbed why classic 60 rock

In Indiana crying for the Indians.

I loved this song when I was in 6th grade. We got together as kids and talked about it because we were learning the words and understanding their meaning. Listening to this song just now and watching the calmness of the band as they played and sung this is kind of a protest song. But the band exudes peace. I still love this song and the band.

Reminds me of the good ol days

I am part Cherokee proud of it

I live in Gordon County Georgia...Home of "New Echota" the Cherokee Capital. I am part Cherokee & Creek & Irish. This song has always been my favorite. Our County is beautiful and you can tell they were every where around the river and such because of all the Arrowheads found by the creek & Oostanaula River.

Pretty good!

Cool song!

Osiyo ginalli... wado.

Cool song

Good song!

gets better everytime I hear it

My dad was part Cherokee.

This is my song for school

I agree with Kap

Não sou pública e nem comum, não quero ser seguida, sou humana, teista e só confio hoje no criador do universo.

The Don Fardon version pre-dated the Raiders. Not as big in the US.

Wow, this song brings back so many beautiful memories of friends long gone, from Jr. High out here in Arizona. Powerful tune back then, Powerful tune now! History of this song is incredible, thank you for sharing!

I feel poor for Cherokee people, this a good song anyway

Are these dudes native american?

Will return, will return, will return

⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

I love that Leslie speaker ramping up at the end!!!

I’m tribal member of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan!
Represent!

I love this song but I pity the revenge nature of it. I would hope, as is the case most time, that all peoples of this land would pull together to make this country a showplace of love and respect for each other regardless of who the person is. Many tribal people have fought and died in wars to preserve this country. I am thankful for their sacrifice. I hope the Cherokee people can prosper and enjoy life for what it is and not be eaten up by things that destroy their great potential.

This one was in my parent's 45 rpm collection.  Loved listening to it on our 'record player.   It still sounds good!

I grew up and live in Okla.and am part Cherokee(though I ain't cot a card) and I've always loved this song

I'm still part Red Man deep inside

Love this!!

Love Love Love

💙❤❤❤

Am I the only one noticing that they're not wearing their traditional Early American attire for this video.

This song really describes the trail of tears 😭

i make native american flutes when i play them i can hear thier crys

Was Paul revair part Indian . He sure sand that song seriously?

I think that's Mark Lindsay.

Great song remember it well and the group. Wow!! Brings back memories of years.

Chickasaw I am......and love my blood.

Cherokee Indian Gal here I love this song! Oh yeah tell it like it is.

I do love this song, Mark Lindsay is so handsome and nice.

first called this song one of my faves when I was about 5... maaaaaan that was a long time ago!

so sad but true

cherokee people.isthe title..

MARK LINDSAY is my favorite male singer.

sorry the March of Tears was terrible never again

I groove

I saw him sing this at Charlie Goodnight's comedy club in 1989. He was still great. The Europeans should have adapted instead of conquer. The Rainbow Warriors Return.

My maternal grandparents were part Indian, and we lived in Indiana, appropriately.

Their name was Means, just like Russell Means!

A very large portrait of an Indian Chief hangs on my wall in my office; the Native American Ten Commandments that I purchased in 2009.

always loved this song as a kid and NOW as an ADULT

Love you Paul, you are so sexy.

we will return

Of all the races the Native American should be compensated for what we did to them.... Taking their land from them.... You They never ask for anything though but are the most deserving of receiving compensation.... They are a proud race.

Long live the Cherokee Indians..

After watching THE WEST documentary by Ken Burns my husband and I have a new respect for the Native American. If anyone should be in protest in this country, it should be the Native Americans. :(

Indian reservation

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 they learn
cherokee nation will return, will return, will return, will return, will return

He States it clearly!

I'm an English Puritan Cherokee

Hi I really like this song , I use to work on a reservation with the tribe (the people of the pines) Serrano Indians , Im so glad I got to work for them. The Indian tribe are good HEARTED, I still can not understand the reason for the way they were mistreated back in the day, I thank God for blessing them and having them succeed in life as they have,

LMAO!! The drummer hasn't got a clue. HAHAHAHAHA

Paul Revere and the Raiders were saddled with the moniker of "novelty act". Actually, they were more often than not a very talented group and well polished musicians. They had many LEGIT classic rock hits. This was one of my FAVORITES. Sad that Paul passed away before he got his deserved props.

HERMOSO TEMA

TANNYA HIDALGO BLUE CHILD 🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁

I am Cherokee and I am proud

bomba hacks I'm part myself

I want some of what the lead singer smoked before making the video. :D

all the beads we made by hand are now made in japan.

Yes me too.  I am Cherokee. this song Rocks with Truth.
