Redbone - We Were All Wounded At Wounded Knee • TopPop

[@storkonstage]

This song was a big hit in the Netherlands. In the US this song was kept away from the radio and tv networks for a very disgraceful reason. As a kid I loved this song so much. I still cannot believe I met the drummer of Red Bone in Holland, Pete "Last Walking Bear" DePoe. He is a Cheyenne and a wonderful man who lives in The Hague, Holland where he met his wife. Its such a shame that Redbone didn't got the attention and recognition they deserved.

[@JustMaria2024]

Hi Jack, I totally agree this song was a big hit in the Netherlands; Redbone wasn’t given any chance at the US because for disgraceful reasons. Their songs were full of the truth, their pain and violence… Lots of greetz from the south of the Netherlands💙

[@donnaclarke1924]

This is a very good song and band. Should’ve got more air time❤

That's probably why alot of native groups never get anywhere as soon as they get a Audience they start pushing there Racism crying about the passed, white man did this white man did that, oh boo hoo hoo you lost the war get over your selfs.

[@michaelgeist1265]

I only just now learned of this song as a 52 year old man in the United States. The US past is shameful, but the coverup is even worse and also shows acknowledgement of guilt. I will be sharing this every chance I get. Thanks to Redbone and my sorrow and apologies to the Native American tribes.

Speaking of national atrocities, did they teach you about Leopoldo II’s genocide of people in the Congo?

[@nancywillaert5129]

Infinite Triclops not in all it’s true colours but I learned it from people that came from Congo and teachers that talked about and a priest that has been there for most part of his live. It’s a short while ago it was admitted that there has been wrong doing against the people of Congo although not a apology but it was considered a start of healing between Belgium and Congo.

[@nancywillaert5129]

joeneedstosleep later on learning more and more. I don’t agree on suppressing and killing for benefit or power. At least it’s now recognised as wrongdoing against Congolese people. Still we all wonder when the government will give an apology. But at least there was money contributions for building up but the money stuck at hands and the people still suffer. Sadly.

I'm shocked to hear, this is when you learn about this song. That it was suppressed in the USA. I assume because it shone light on things the FBI and establishment wanted hidden. I remember it being a hit in my country, Netherlands, and we could feel the message. We knew about how the FBI had 'dealt' with the 2nd wounded knee and this song felt like a peace offering, like non violent resistance to a cruel treatment. I assumed these guys were heroes and important voices in their own country. How sad they were suppressed.

Freakin' Redbone. Who knew? I just yt'd a bunch of their stuff - and the tracks are intriguing, really interesting. I think these had some real talent and inspiration here. And I didn't know anything but Come and Get Your Love, and of course I had no idea it was a band of tribal folks. I guess the DJ's over the years forgot to mention that part. Anyhow, point is, I'm rather impressed here with Redbone. Worth a closer look I think. That's some of the good that comes out of youtube. It took me all of, seriously, about 50 milliseconds of watching CAGYL to realize these guys were from the tribes. And yet I never knew. Sorry to ramble and repeat, it just jukes me a bit that it took 40 years to realize it.
