A starting point of the too frequent Native American experience is "Jericho". The song's about the tough Fresno neighborhood that Lolly and Pat Vegas grew up . Here's a link to the song. It's got a nice funky hook to it.

Another favorite Native American song is "Wovoka". It's about an historic Native American figure, Wovoka, who created the Ghost Dance movement. It has an excellent Rock and Roll groove to it.

This magnificent song begins with Native American chanting, then transitions into a beautiful heart wrenching ballad.

It is so moving that it appears to be the inspiration for the gorgeous song by Gerry Rafferty, "Right Down the Line". Listen to the guitar break.

There's also a truly great song which starts with this ethereal Native chanting for the first two plus minutes and then goes into a very funk groove. This may be one of the earliest examples of World Music. Along with their song "Red and Blue", it introduced Earth Day to the World in Philadelphia PA on April 22, 1970.

This song, along with “Chant 13th Hour” (see above), was also played the very first Earth Day in Phildelphia on April 22, 1970

"We Were All Wounded At Wounded Knee" caused a firestorm in America facing its past-- and was banned. It was a Number One hit in Europe.

This song says it simple, says it straight, and is an unsparing look at history: “Custer Had it Coming”

Released in 1971, this beautiful song was released during the occupation of Alcatraz by Native Americans - who were sick and tired of being sick and tired.

This song memorializes the Native American Occupation of Alcatraz (November 20, 1969 – June 11, 1971), a 19-month long protest when 89 Native Americans and their supporters occupied Alcatraz Island.
