      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.

      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.

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'm an older Gen X and so is my brother-in-law. He had the same stunned/thunderstruck look on his face, when I showed the video to him. My BIL totally knew the song, and lovec it, but no idea they were Native Americans. What made it so very funny, is that my BIL is a full blood Navajo. He liked the song before, but now he thinks it's awesome.

    Redbone is definitely a native American band! There's another native American band called Blackfoot!
    They had hits with Train Train and Highway Song! You should definitely check out Blackfoot!
    Ricky Medlocke who is lead guitarist in Lynard Skynard is also native American and he was lead of Blackfoot!

    My husband died in February of 2021. During his last year of his life he knew he was winding down to his end. He ran back across this song and we listened to it a lot in that last year. So this one has a very recent reason for being special to me. Thanks BP. I truly appreciate it. I figured that you would get a kick out of the native tradition that they bring to their performances. I’m white as a snowflake but there’s three different strains of Indian blood running around in my veins and if I could I would get up and dance with him.

They taught me nothing about my real heritage and sadly now they're both gone. My aunt's that are still alive talk to me about little things. I enjoy these discussions.

      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.

      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❤

    On one of your future reactions, consider listening to the amazing Country/Southern Rock group called Alabama. In particular the song "Feels so Right". 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. They went on to blow up the Country/Southern Rock genre for easily 10+ years. I think you'll enjoy Feels so Right! Give 'em a listen and enjoy!

    They were once called Redbone Potlatch. In the 70's there was a conscious attempt to acknowledge injustice and be accepting of all cultures.

    OMG!! Your face when the penny finally dropped!! That was priceless!🎭🧓I'm in my 60s now and a Central Florida native. But from the time I was so young I can barely remember it, my parents took my brother and I camping in the Great Smoky Mountains every Summer they could manage it, to get away from the heat. My husband and I took our kids there whenever we could manage it. The entrance on Hwy 441 on the West side goes straight through The Cherokee Reservation, called simply The Rez by all the locals. Smokemont Campground is 5 miles into the park and the one we've stayed in the most, especially when our kids were little. Every business you can think of as a support is there, on The Rez, including a hospital. The People are there too. And even in my oldest memories, when The Rez was way more backwoods than it is today, they are like any other population of any other community in the South. The preserve and honor their heritage and have museums and all kinds of other activities that are fun to explore. Especially, on a rainy day when you're not gonna get much hiking done, or driving on twisty mountain roads. There is a casino there too now. But the Tribe has managed town growth well, and it's set off the main roads so it doesn't spoil the more natural town vibe. If you follow 441 back out of The Rez on the West side, there are even more businesses.
    The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most biodiverse area of the country, and is a rainforest, so yeah, sometimes it's practical to leave your campsite ( nobody has ever taken our stuff, crime really has never been a problem in the park), and stay in a motel to get shower, get some laundry done and generally resupply.
    I know you're from the Denver area. Aren't there any native American cultural centers nearby? When you have kids it's important to normalize being around a few different cultures within our culture. Or maybe I only think that because my dad was from Boston and my mom was from rural Georgia. She grew up picking cotton and he went to MIT. I just have a broad frame of reference.

We had so much great music with catchy tunes that this one sort of got lost...was rediscovered with Guardians of the Galaxy. But man, they were great and the fact that they were a ground-breaking American Indian band was awesome. This remains one of my favorite songs and I have it saved as a favorite on my playlist. It just makes me happy to hear it and transports me back to the best times of my life. I was 14 in 1974. Glad you are discovering our great music!! Carry on!
