Indians and Mexican young men who looked like any other early 60's male singing group, but when they embraced their heritage they were fire! I am from Oklahoma so we are all part Indian, and being 1/4 myself we always called Indian and not Native American.

[@TheAislynnRose]

Forgive me for saying Native American. My fathers family is from Oklahoma and my Grandmother's relatives came to Dallas for her funeral. My mother was into doing family trees so they brought some info from Grandmothers side. We have Indian ties in OK. Explained her black hair and easy to tan complexion and she didn't go grey til her 80s. Hard to trace though. In my Grandmother's time and before you didn't admit your Indian heritage if you were living or married in the white world. It was passed down verbally thru family and letters which they brought with them. I was very excited about the connection. Wish I knew more but anymore info died with my ancestor. It just wasn't talked about due to discrimination. We were told lost Catawba tribe, but my mother was unable to follow it further. Of course we did not have DNA then, and my mom passed away in 1994. Didn't have Ancestry DNA testing you had to request records the hard way. Lol. My older sister has taken up the mantle.

There were still hate back in those days, but people were more tolerant of each other. Racism was still flying high. But I will stay in the music arena people got along. I was born in 71. Anne was adopted by white hippie family and I'm black female. So I saw both sides. Oh, and I can't tell you how often I was one if not very few Black people at a lot of concerts. I didn't care nobody else did either for the most part. But I'm a rare breed as well as my family and I have a sister who's Cherokee Indian and brother who is also black and my parents had three children of their own and 37 foster kids so I grew up in a huge melting pot of people of all different cultures, and still do. We all get along and love each other so seeing other people that don't get along I find very strange.... And always have and had to learn at a very early age that it's pure ignorance.

Absolutely this. Our 'controllers' brought Racism back. In the 70s, tv shows and commercials had Americans of all colors represented. We all cried when Pops died on Good Times. We all counted one another as part of our community - we ignored color and were responsible for our character. The indoctrinators (leftists) of today have burdened our children and youth with self-hatred and that breeds contempt. They follow the doctrine of the ENEMY of humanity. Choose this day whom you will serve.. Loving sacrificial Creator or The father of Lies/false light.

I got pulled over on the I-10 freeway many years ago. Got my first ticket ever. I was crying like a doek, and pulled into a rando neighborhood. I was on the phone with my sister. Still crying. The lead singer and his grandson heard me, and came out of their house to ask if i was okay? He invited me and my daughter into his house. I was a little surprised, because I recognized him. He had a complete studio in his house. He made me a cd of come and get your love. It was a trip.

I don't know what happened to make so many feel different. Music is a universal language.

That is an insane statement. Things were A LOT worse in the US then. Redbone were formed 5 years after segregation ended in the US.

The term "redbone" was used for a short time as a derogatory term for Native Americans. Until these boys took it and said "just watch what what we do with it." This is one of the best songs to have ever been recorded. You can't be in a bad mood when listening to it.

[@ausfuhrpramienjagar]

. The term Redbone is a slang Cajun term for a person of mixed race.. Hence the Mexican/Native American ethnicity of this group. Btw, it is the great Jimi Hendrix who suggested they use the name and start a band..

@@atencio1372 But you do understand what he is saying. Allowing the term "Indian" to become polarizing is not what you should allow in your own mind. Many tribes call themselves Indians to this very day. Does that make them racists or bigots? Of course not! It is the meaning, negative or positive, an individual person pours into any term. If it is spoken with contempt it is wrong but if it is spoken in a neutral or positive fashion then who cares? This whole First Nations business has never clicked with me and I was around when it was first coined back in the 1970s by the know-it-alls in Toronto, the centre of the known universe. So I see how it is used by the woke and the PC and they are just divisive people looking to get an advantage over other people with their hip terminology.

I had never heard of them until I walked into a record store and heard this playing on the store speakers. I went to the counter and asked the guy who the band was playing over the speakers and he told me it was Alabama, a new group. I found the album and walked out after buying it so I could get home and listen to the whole thing. I was blown away and became an immediate fan.

My mother and her 2 sisters were taken from their rez and put in an Indian government school till they graduated. They were taught to hate and reject their native heritage and so their children never got the tribal education either. In fact we really didn't know of our heritage until we were all adults. Sault Sainte Marie, MI is where our rez is located and even not knowing, going there, we always had a sense of being home. My siblings all had that same feeling.

​@@suecook1326How very sad.

[@jamescarrell6365]

I know how you feel. I'm 3/4 Cherokee myself. My great grandparents couldn't speak english just southern band Cherokee. And I was raised completely devoid of my native American heritage and culture. So sad.

My great aunt and grandma spoke little of the school they were forced to go to. The spanish catholics abused the children and cut their hair. So I wasn't really taught to appreciate my native side. But after finding out how much I have in both sides. I am even more proud. Also, my family all saw Pat and Lolly. They called each other cousins. So it always brings happiness to have met Pat at a casino they were playing. When they came up to my mom and aunts I felt dumb for not believing them. 😂 It will always be a great memory that night❤

Don't worry, it's in your blood and it's in your heart. We are and always will be the First Nation and you are part of it.

Oh and MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU

[@MOS650]

I actually remember this performance ( The Midnight Special was everything), I knew the song well, it was played on R&B radio regularly. When we realized who they were it was a pleasant surprise. Another song I remember of theirs- One More Time ( Top Pop).

The dance that you saw in the beginning. was asking. the ancestors. to give them power to succeed and to give them strength.

[@PattyH65]

I was completely clueless. I had no idea there was a native American rock band. And I had no idea that they did this song. Like you said this is a classic its iconic. I'm a little bit older than you but I feel like I should have known. Clueless that's the way I feel

[@stuarthornsby7023]

I recall some of the band members being a mix of races with Native American being one of them. They had some cool songs. I think this was probably their biggest one.

[@stuarthornsby7023]

And I would still like to see you react to Mike & The Mechanics; The Living Years. Has a great message and I think you guys would get the song and the video. It has a strong message. Thanks for what you guys do. I appreciate y'all.

[@melissagerber7231]

​@stuarthornsby7023 oh, that song has made the grown men cry. It hits hard.

[@stevekaczmarczyk9701]

They where blessing the stage,,,,,i saw them when I was very young,,, I'm 56,,,,,

[@jeffwanser5727]

I enjoy your enthusiasm when you find something new. As for reaching the end of the internet, not even close. I'm 71, and keep on finding more cool stuff out there, new and old. Keep listening.

[@andreaschadeck5596]

I love this song ❤ Also: I’m Indigenous Canadian and always loved the song. I also didn’t know they were Native Americans until a few years ago. I felt a similar thing that you described.

[@andreaschadeck5596]

Actually you want an interesting rabbit hole: check out the story of Buffy Saint Marie. She is an Italian American who got famous as a singer in the 60’s and has been pretending the whole time to be Native American!!! My Mom adored her all these decades. It’s recently been exposed. So crazy.

[@forsakenjones4695]

Yeah ,she should have all her awards taken away.There is real proof too.

[@LoriTalbot-du2qt]

This song has been used in so many commercials and movies it will blow your mind!

[@dcmtrader]
