Complete lyrics with original text, transliteration, and meaning, 6 sections
Indian Culture
Raven Crewother
They took the whole Cherokee nation
Original
Put us on this reservation Took away our ways of life The tomahawk and the bow and knife
Took away our native tongue
Original
And taught their English to our young And all the beads we made by hand Are nowadays made in Japan
Cherokee people
Original
Cherokee tribe So proud to live So proud to die
They took the whole Indian nation
Original
Locked us on this reservation Though I wear a shirt and tie I'm still part redman deep inside
Cherokee people
Original
Cherokee tribe So proud to live So proud to die
But maybe someday when we've learned
Original
Cherokee nation will return Will return, will return Will return, will return
