Indian Reservation by Buddy Red Bow Lyrics

[Verse One]
They took the whole Cherokee Nation
Put us on a reservation
Took away our way of life
Tomahawk and a Bowie knife
Took away our native tongue
Taught their English to our young
And all the beads we made by hand
Oh you can buy them from Japan

[Chorus]
Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe
So proud to live, so proud to die

[Verse Two]
They took the whole Lakota nation
Locked us on this reservation
But I can’t wear no shirt and tie
'Cause I’m a red man deep inside

[Chorus]
Lakota people, Lakota tribe
So proud to live, so proud to die
[Bridge]
Maybe someday whеn they learn
All the nations will rеturn

[Chorus + Outro]
Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe
So proud to live, so proud to die

Lakota people, Lakota tribe
So proud to live, so proud to die

Mohawk people, Mohawk tribe
So proud to live, so proud to die

Navajo people, Navajo tribe
So proud to live, so proud to die

Indian people, Indian tribe
So proud to live, so proud to die
