As a Native American, this is meaningful, as I was born and raised on a reservation. We speak our language and practise our traditions. A huge struggle over the dacades but we are still here. Thanx for this. I remember when it first came out. All tribes were placed on reservations. Cherokee is just one tribe ..there are many more.

@gregprickett Год назад

You're exactly right. My grandfather (1/2 Menominee) was taken from the rez and sent to an "Indian School" in Douglas, KS. They cut off his hair and forced him to speak English, then when he was finished at the school, the Indian Service sent him to the Kiowa Agency in Oklahoma. My dad was born on the rez and I was born in Indian country (but not on the rez).

Night time - she'd take them out and i swear it hit the floor and went back twice that distance. When she got too sick from dementia they tried to cut it. She knocked (punched) someone out cold. Even us kids knew better than to touch her hair unless she was 100% able to control it. I'm 55 now and i still haven't touched anyones hair as soft as hers. Kept most of its color black also - really hard to find grey.

@charlenelesher1198 Год назад

@@timcarr6401 Yes, there were rival tribes. But they kept things in balance and did not irradiate the entire race to a dwindling few. White Germans fought English. English fought the Irish and Scotts. War is everywhere. People have always fought wars.. especially over land. But the early Politicians went far and beyond extremes. The Native Americans were deliberately infected with blankets carrying smallpox. Bows and arrows were no contest against the riffles. And whether anyone believes it or not, white people began scalping the Natives to take their long black hair as a trophy. Native Americans fought back and in turn scalped the white people. You cannot compare small tribal wars on a continent as vast as the Americas with the near total genecide on the Native Americans. Children are taught to hate and the prejudices that are still around today.

Paul Revere & the Raiders formed in Boise, Idaho in 1958. They went to Portland,Oregon in 1960 & began playing in the small club & lounges there. In 1965, they became the “house band” on Dick Clark’s TV show,”Where the action is.” They had multiple hits during the middle to late 1960s & were very popular. Indian Reservation was a number one hit in 1971 & it was their biggest charting song. Paul Revere died October 4th,2014. During their time from 1958 until Paul’s death in 2014 they had 14 studio albums, 2 live albums, 15 compilation albums, and 39 top 10 singles. I was a big fan back in my wayward youth. 🎶🎸💕👌🤘👍

My family comes from the Eastern Band of Cherokee who hid in the Smoky Mountains instead of being herded out to Oklahoma. Today, the Eastern Cherokee live in a reservation in Cherokee, North Carolina along the Oconolufte River. So many people died on that long Trail of Tears as the walked the entire way. Many got sick and died along the trail and we're not given proper burials because the soldiers would not stop to rest the old, the very young, or the sick. They wept the whole way... henceforth called "The Trail of Tears. Thank You for sharing this song. I used to sing it and play it on my piano when I was a little girl. This brought back a lot of memories for me, and I'm sure for others as well.

Believe it or not, the last “Indian” boarding schools were closed in the 1980s and 1990s. These boarding schools were simply the worst of everything that was done to indigenous peoples in North America. Not only did these schools strip every single ounce of culture and history away, these schools also taught the Native Children that they were never going to be good enough. These stolen children were told over and over again that they were less than human, less than white. Even now, on a national level, Native Americans are still less than. Only in state and local elections does our vote matter. How often does a Presidential candidate come visit the Blackfoot in Browning or the Chippewa-Cree on Rocky Boy ( Stone Child )? Natives were made to take Christian names, learn of the Christian religion but treated in less than Christian ways. Abuse, physical, emotional and sexual was rampant. Remember this concept, “ Kill the Indian: Save the man”. Captain Pratt said what needed to happen was to “ kill the Indian in him and save the man”. We are a minorities minority. Unless your Native, you never consider the Native Americans first when considering minorities. Black and Hispanic or Latinos, maybe Jews or Asians, Middle Easterners. We read stories that become national news when some white gurl goes missing, but our own state barely makes note of a missing Native girl. We needed to start a movement for at least some people to take us serious. The “Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women” movement is what’s trying to bring to light what is an epidemic to Native Females across our continent. Native Americans deserve better, still.

"In the recording, lead singer Mark Lindsay cut the basic track with session musicians of the Wrecking Crew, and later overdubbed backing singers and strings arranged by John D'Andrea. According to Lindsay, when he suggested ending the song with an organ riff similar to the one in Janis Ian’s Society's Child', the song's arranger Artie Butler, who also played organ in the track, suggested that they re-use it, as he was the organist on "Society's Child".[13] The original track was recorded on December 3, 1970."

It's Offensive and Disrespectful to use the lang. of a tribe you aren't affiliated with. The Cherokee Nation are offended by this song. It's appropriation at it's worst. Unless you are a documented member of the Nation you can't claim it. It damages there Sovientry.

"Indian Reservation" was written by John D. Loudermilk, a singer/songwriter who recorded as "Johnny Dee" and wrote "Tobacco Road" for The Nashville Teens and "Ebony Eyes" for The Everly Brothers. The song is about the plight of the Cherokee Indians, who in 1838 were displaced from their home in Georgia to a reservation in Oklahoma. Raiders frontman Mark Lindsay, whose ancestry was part Native American, thought this would be a good song to record. >> A country singer named Marvin Rainwater recorded an early version of this song called "The Pale Faced Indian" in 1959. Rainwater, who was part Cherokee, incorporated chanting into it. "Indian Reservation" wasn't the only song John D. Loudermilk wrote for Rainwater along this theme: "Half-Breed" (not the Cher hit), was another one. That song, about the struggles of a man whose father is white and mother is Indian, reached #66 in 1959. The first hit version of this song was recorded in 1968 by a British singer named Don Fardon, who took the song to #20 in the US and #3 in the UK. Raiders used more keyboards and modern production elements in their 1971 rendition, which reached #1 in the US in July that year. When Casey Kasem, host of the popular radio show American Top 40, asked John D. Loudermilk about writing this song, Loudermilk embellished a story about meeting a Cherokee Indian named Bloody Bear Tooth who told him about the plight of his people. Kasem repeated the story on his show, giving the song an intriguing, but false, backstory. The group was formerly known as Paul Revere and the Raiders. This song became not just their biggest hit, but the best-selling single for Columbia Records. Isn't it ironic that a song like this, brimming with simmering rage and an implied threat to retake the land for the natives, was written by a white country songwriter, recorded by a band named after the white European patriots whose colonization of the US took the land from the Cherokees in the first place, and sold by Columbia Records, a company originating as "Columbia Graphophone Company" in the UK?

Thank you for providing them with some history of the lyrics and original song. As well as the historically more accurate comment on how it fits in the big picture. 🙏

@marxlover100 Год назад

I listened to Casey Kasem describing the history of how the song came about. He said Loudermilk got stranded in the hills when some Cherokee young men came across him. Upset over a white man on their land, they began badgering him and torturing him. They asked him what he did for a living. John D told them he was a songwriter. They told him they'd let him go if he promised to write a song about the plight of the Cherokee people. John said he would do that and he was released. Sounds very embellished. I looked at Wikipedia to see about the song's origins and there is nothing to suggest that this was how the song came about. It does say that John D. Loudermilk did love to embellish his stories. Anyway, I never forgot the Casey story, apparently false as it is.

They were singing about the Trail of Tears. They were rounded up in Georgia, South Carolina, and Alabama and were herded to the reservation. Thousands died on the trip. In my genealogical research I discovered I had a grandfather who was a soldier on that mission. It was President Andrew Jackson who ordered the round up. A very sad part of our history.

Growing up, I and my siblings (I'm the youngest of 8), thought we were 1/4 Cherokee on my father's side, so this song always meant a lot to me. And even after finding out from my father's brother a few years back, that the Cherokee blood story was just a story (a rumor that no one knows how it started), this song still packs a punch. Very powerful message, indeed...

@rmacdougallaliasdogviticus Год назад

Big fan of the lead singer here, Mark Lindsay who also plays the Saxophone. I'd suggest 'Hungary' next for a Raider song or 'Silver Bird' and or Arizona by Mark as a solo Artist. Interesting snippet on how he got his start. It all started with the Red Hughes Band with Paul Revere Dick on piano. One night at the IOOF Hall in Caldwell, Idaho, Mark Lindsay showed up to listen, but he soon ripped off his glasses and made his way blindly to the stage, then asked if he could sing a song. He did, relished the crowd response for a bit and then - overcome with shyness hastily left the hall. The next morning, Mark was back at his job at McClure's Bakery. Covered in flour and with his coke-bottle glasses back on, he was soon visited by Revere, who had come in to pick up buns for his hamburger stand. While Mark wrapped the order, Revere started talking about an incident that had happened at the dance that he played the night before. “It was the weirdest thing!” said Revere. “In the middle of the show, this skinny kid with a crazy look in his eye came up to the stage and asked to sing a song. So we let him.” Mark, knowing full well who the stranger was, casually asked, “How was he?” “Not bad,” Revere admitted. “It was ME!” replied Mark. Thus began the Lindsay-Revere association. Mark began sitting in regularly with the Red Hughes band and began to attract his own following, which Red did not appreciate. It all came to a head the night Red took his date to the prom, and showed up late to the gig. Mark was on stage rocking out with the band when Red came in the door, and he was furious. That night he delivered an ultimatum to the band. “If you ever let Lindsay on the stage again, I'll fire the whole band!” With that ultimatum, the band quit, and approached Mark about starting a new band with him as lead singer. They were nameless for a few months, but then called themselves The Downbeats, after Mark noticed a Downbeat magazine on his sax teacher's coffee table and suggested it. The group recorded some demos and got their first contract with Gardena Records in 1961. Owner John Guss, after reviewing the document, noticed the full name of Paul Revere Dick and suggested it would make a good gimmick. And thus the band was christened Paul Revere and the Raiders.

You're right. It was a Mark Lindsay follow up to his top 10 hit, "Arizona," which happens to be a song about a girl named Arizona, not the state. It was recorded by Mark Lindsay and the Wrecking Crew with Hal Blaine doing that wonderful drum work. However, Paul Revere deserves credit. The story goes, he toured the country on his motorcycle, promoting the song, because he believed the song was going to take off on the charts, and it paid off. Even though the album covers say, "The Raiders," people still say Paul Revere and the Raiders due to the fanaminal success they had in the 1960's!

There was an unusual and fascinating heightened awareness of Native American concerns in the early '70's in America. Members of AIM (American Indian Movement) staged protests and events across the country, most famously occupying Alcatraz for over a year. There was also this sub-sub-genre of songs that addressed the subject that almost always told the story from the Native Americans' point of view but were almost always written and sung by non-natives. Indian Reservation was probably the biggest hit, but I was also intrigued by Loneliest Rider by Grand Funk and several songs by a group called Mason Proffit.

Mark Lindsay, the lead singer, also did the song "Arizona" which you previously reacted to a few months ago. This band had a few big hits like "Hungry", "Just Like Me", "Kicks", "Good Thing"-all solid pop/rock songs. They had a lot of different styles: bluesy on "Over You", songs that are totally 60s like "Too Much Talk","Cinderella Sunshine", "Mr. Sun and Mr. Moon" and a song I know Amber would love "Birds Of A Feather" as it's got the horns, it's about being in the country, all sweet hippy music.

I remember when this song first came out. I was really little but my dad was good friends with their mgr. I’m still friends with him and his wife. So Paul revere and the raiders were a group always on my radar. Plus I can relate cuz my great gramma was Choctaw but never registered because of how badly they were treated back then. It was like that fear erased that part of our family’s rich heritage. We had reservations near us when I was a kid. Many were poor but some were resorts and cultural heritage sites where they taught us kids who had yearly field trips the native culture of the area where I grew up. That’s cool that you are learning about your family’s culture. Paul revere and the raiders are in the Oregon state rock and rolls hall of fame, as is our friend. They didn’t have a ton of hits but I think Indian Reservation was my fav of their hits. Thanks for posting. Next really fantastic rabbit hole to go down is Harry Nilsson. I promise you won’t be sorry. He was tight with and very admired by the Beatles for his amazing versatility. Check out Spaceman, Without You, and Coconut for starters
