Thanks for this interesting post and Redbone reached nr 1 in the top charts in the Netherlands in 73: We were all wounded at Wounded Knee.

Listen to Robbie Robertson's Music for the Native Americans from 1994.

"I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon."

Jimi Hendrix

"Jimi Hendrix was of African, European, Cherokee Indian and Mexican descent and spent many of his early years with his grandmother, a full-blooded Cherokee Indian".

Muddy and Leadbelly both had one native American parent, no?

Karen J.Dalton - Cherokee. She had a great voice

Rita Coolidge is half Cherokee,half Sioux i belief.

Robbie robertsons cd,as mentioned, is beautiful and great.
Jeroen

Redbone - "Come and Get Your Love" and "Witch Queen Of New Orleans".

The Vegas (Vasquez) brothers from Redbone wrote Niki Hoeky, which
Bobbie Gentry recorded for her debut album Ode to Billy Joe.
It was Pat Vegas who discovered her, in the Los Angeles nightclub the Red Velvet.

Not sure, if they are mentioned in the film, but Ritchie Valens and Willy DeVille also had native American ancestors. And the importance of Link Wray cannot be overstated. He never made a bad record, they are all great, from the early Rockabilly stuff right up to his last works, the epic "Indian Child" (1993), the brutal "Shadowman" (1997) and the acoustic/electric "Barbed Wire" (2000).

Don't see Charley Patton on that list--widely thought (e.g. by Howlin' Wolf) to be Cherokee. He certainly had a Cherokee grandmother, anyway.

Here's a track off an album I got back in 1972 by a Native American band called Xit -

And this album by Buffy Saint Marie is pretty cool too - kinda psychedelic folk.

The drumbeat.

ROCKMAN

Hi dmay: I'm taking a History of Rock-n-Roll class and thank you for this post.

Hey, shattered - your welcome.

Reading through this thread something popped up in my mind re music on Native Americans/Indians: Johnny Cash did a concept album about Native Americans. Here's a link regarding the album:

[en.wikipedia.org]

You can find the album on utoob if you're interested in checking it out. On an odd note, one of the Native Americans mentioned in a song on Cash's album - Ira Hayes - was also the subject of a 1961 movie called "The Outsider" with the late Tony Curtis playing Hayes.

Thanks a lot!

Nice!!

Nice article on The Guardian about this documentary: [www.theguardian.com]

1970 was the year of the very first "Earth Day" and I would have been 13 years old.
Redbone was the headliner. Somehow my friend Larry K and I were at the front next to the stage.

Here's a nice article about the great late Jesse Ed Davis, slightly related to this thread.

Watching Rumble now. This is a great movie, includes some Stones content and some great old blues fottage. This by Link Wray is a taste:

Thanks so much for bringing up this long overdue topic. I have a blues musician friend who saw Taj w/ Jesse Ed open for Zeppelin in January 1969 at Fillmore West. He said Jesse played his Tele in standard tuning for the entire set. Most guitarists would have changed to an open-tuned guitar w/higher action for slide, but my friend said Jesse didn’t. Jesse’s playing left him speechless. My friend equated it with seeing the Butterfield band for the first time at the old Fillmore auditorium or seeing Hendrix or Cream. For him as a blues player, Jesse was that impressive

Blackfoot/Skynyrd's Rickey Medlocke?

Indian Girl?

In addition to Silver Dagger's two choices, there is always, also featured on my double vinyl compilation,

Another version, probably, I'll have to compare, which one I have got, if they are different.

It is the second that I have got.

Add to it the following one

I saw Buffy Sainte-Marie in concert once in the now distant past.

Much later edit:
Even a live version of "Soldier Blue", apparently quite recently.
