iBut maybe someday when they've learned
The Cherokee Nation will return

This is Elizabeth Warren’s song, right?

The essence of the music was found in the Hammond, not the guitar/bass; it created an unusual timbre for the song, making it more like soft-core Vanilla Fudge or ELP than the other music of its day. As one drawn to the organ for the last 50 years or so, that grabs me deep in the soul.

We come from Cherokee blood. Always loved this song.

I am part Ani-Yun-Wiya and I have loved this song since it was recorded in 1971....Got to see Paul Revere and the Raiders (the original group) at Dollywood in Pigeon Forge years ago...

Probably for the same reason that the Iroquois Confederacy sided with the British Empire against the Founders Four Score and Ten Years earlier. History never gets made in a vacuum.

Great music. However, I also like the Orlando Riva version.
The dancer is quite good looking! :)

Rush Limbaugh used it for his Injun Update, but somebody got him to stop. That is only one of three update songs he stopped due to outside forces. The other two were “Would You Like to Ride (in My Beautiful Balloon) for the condom update on his NYC program (WABC-A770) and Born Free (Andy Williams version), dropped at the request of Andy Williams. He also stopped announcing that Connie Chung was still ovulating at the request of her husband, Maury Povich.

I remember that song still got airplay in the early 1970s!

I think at this point the label just said “Raiders.” Not Paul Revere and the Raiders.
