Две вариации песни про индейцев Чероке, переселённых в резервацию. С красивой подборкой слайдов. А ещё мне нравится текст и музыка.
Вот никогда не думал, что проблемы коренного населения Северной и Центральной Америки когда-либо попадут в сферу моих интересов, однако...Во втором варианте мне меньше нравится исполнение и музыкальное сопровождение, но зато какой там видеоряд... ммм... обожаю-обожаю старые чёрно-белые фотопортреты.

Indian Reservation
They took the whole Cherokee Nation
And put us on this reservation
Took away our ways of life
The tomahawk and the bow and knife
They 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
And locked us on this reservation
And though I wear a shirt and tie
Im still a red man 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

Indian Reservation
They took the whole Indian nation
Put us on this resevation
Took away our way of life
Tomahawk and the prairie-knife.
Took away our native tongue
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 you lived
So proud you'll die.
They took the whole Indian nation
Put us on this reservation
Brick built houses by the score
Won't need tepees anymore.
Although they've changed our ways of old
They'll never change our heart and soul
And suddenly when the world has learned
Cherokee Indian will return.
Will return
Will return
Will return
Will return
Will return!
