The Prayer of the Ghost Dance

i wanna go where the blind can see
i wanna go where the lame will walk
i wanna see the sick ones clean
where the deaf can hear and the silent talk

where are you going, to a Ghost Dance in the snow?
where are all your warriors, i see they're finally
coming home

i wanna go where the dead are raised
where the mountain lion lays down with the lamb
i wanna stand where God is praised
i wanna ride across the plains to the promised land

where i'm going don't need to raise your voice
no starvation we'll have plenty to eat
no guns no wars, no hateful noise just a victory dance, we'll never taste defeat

where there's nothin' done or said that can't be forgiven
where every step you take is on sacred ground

walk away from death into the land of the living
where all the lost tribes are finally found

We each begin in innocence.
We all become guilty.
In this life you find yourself guilty of being who you are.
Being yourself, that's Aboriginal Sin, the worst sin of all.
That's a sin you'll never be forgiven for.

We Indians are all guilty, guilty of being ourselves.

We're taught that guilt from the day we're born.
We learn it well.

To each of my brothers and each of my sisters, I say, be proud of that guilt.
You are guilty only of being innocent,
of being yourselves,
of being Indian,
of being
human.

Your guilt
makes you
holy.

Thirty Years of FBI Harassment and Misconduct 

The war continues daily in "INDIAN COUNTRY"...that being a genocidal war against American Indians. 

This war is a historical continuation of genocide which began when Europeans first stepped on the shores of this continent. 

It is a war to annihilate American Indians using a process of social, political,  economic and spiritual  'engineering'  inspired from the Throne of Hell itself and which has targeted Indigenous Peoples from the beginning in the implementation of those  'living conditions' ("ethnic cleansing") which are designed to cause the physical and spiritual death of a race of human beings.

The 9th and 10th Cavalry Regiments of “BLACK MERCENARY Buffalo Soldiers” conducted campaigns against American Indian tribes from Montana, Texas, New Mexico, South Dakota and Arizona. Throughout the era of the Indian Wars, approximately twenty percent of the U.S. Cavalry troopers were African Americans. They fought over 177 engagements against the Apache, Comanche, Ute, Kiowa, Shoshone, Cheyenne, Bannock, Kickapoo, Sioux and Blackfoot. 

At least 18 Medals of Honor were presented to Black Buffalo Soldiers during the Western Campaigns!

Ballard Of The Hotchkiss Gun

Ballad by Private. W. H. Prather, an African-American member I Troop, Ninth Cavalry (Black Buffalo Soldiers). 

Composed and sung by troops during the "Wounded Knee" campaign of 1890 In honor of the victory at Wounded Knee

The Red Skins left their Agency, the Soldiers left their Post,
All on the strength of an Indian tale about the Messiah's ghost
Got up by the savage chieftans to lead their tribes astray;
But Uncles Sam wouldn't have it so, for he ain't built that way.
They swore that this Messiah came to them in visions sleep,
And promised to restore their game and Buffalos a heap,
So they must start a big ghost dance, then all would join their band,
And may be so we lead the way into the great Bad Land.

Chorus:
They claimed the shirt Messiah gave, no bullet could go through,
But when the soldiers fired at them they saw this was not true.
The Medicine man supplied them with their great Messiah's grace,
And he, too, pulled his freight and swore the 7th hard to face.

About their tents the Soldiers stood, awaiting one and all,
That they might hear the trumpet clear when sounding General call
Or Boots and Saddles in a rush, that each and every man
Might mount in haste, ride soon and fast to stop this devilish band
But Generals great like Miles and Brooke don't do things up that way,
For they know an Indian like a book, and let him have his sway
Until they think him far enough and then to John they'll say,
"You have better stop your fooling or we'll bring our guns to play."

Chorus:
They claimed the shirt, etc.

The 9th marched out with splendid cheer the Bad Lands to explo'e-
With Col. Henry at their head they never fear the foe;
So on they rode from Xmas eve 'till dawn of Xmas day;
The Red Skins heard the 9th was near and fled in great dismay;
The 7th is of courage bold both officers and men,
But bad luck seems to follow them and twice has took them in;
They came in contact with Big Foot's warriors in their fierce might
This chief made sure he had a chance of vantage in the fight.

Chorus:
They claimed the shirt, etc.

A fight took place, 'twas hand to hand, unwarned by trumpet call,
While the Sioux were dropping man by man - the 7th killed them all,
And to that regiment be said "Ye noble braves, well, done,
Although you lost some gallant men a glorious fight you've won."
The 8th was there, the sixth rode miles to swell that great command
And waited orders night and day to round up Short Bulls band.
The Infantry marched up in mass the Calvary's support,
And while the latter rounded up, the former held the fort.

Chorus:
They claimed the shirt, etc.

E Battery of the 1st stood by and did their duty well,
For every time the Hotchkiss barked they say a hostile fell.
Some Indian soldiers chipped in too and helped to quell the fray,
And now the campaign's ended and the soldiers marched away.
So all have done their share, you see, whether it was thick or thin
And all helped break the ghost dance up and drive the hostiles in.
The settlers in that region now can breathe with better grace;
They only ask and pray to God to make John hold his base.
Chorus:
They claimed the shirt, etc.

American Horse

"They turned their guns, Hotchkiss Guns, upon the women who were in the lodges standing there under a flag of truce, and of course as soon as they were fired upon they fled...There was a woman with an infant in her arms who was killed as she almost touched the flag of truce [which flew over the Lakota camp], and the women and children of course were strewn all along the circular village until they were dispatched. Right near the flag of truce a mother was shot down with her infant; the child not knowing that its mother was dead was still nursing, and that especially was a very sad sight. The women as they were fleeing with their babes were killed together, shot right through, and the women who were very heavy with child were also killed...After most all of them had been killed a cry was made that all those who were not killed or wounded should come forth and they would be safe. Little boys who were not wounded came out of their places of refuge, and as soon as they came in sight a number of soldiers surrounded them and butchered them there...Of course it would have been all right if only the men had been killed; we would feel almost grateful for it. But the fact of the killing of the women, and more especially the killing of the young boys and girls who are to go to make up the future strength of the Indian people, is the saddest part of the whole affair and we feel it very sorely."

James Mooney, "The Ghost Dance Religion and the Sioux Outbreak of 1890," in Fourteenth Annual Report of the United States Bureau of Ethnology (Washington, D.C.: U.S. Government Printing Office, 1896) Part Two, p. 877

MEDALS OF HONOR GIVEN TO THE "MASS MURDERERS" OF THE 300 LAKOTA CHILDREN, WOMEN, AND MEN AT WOUNDED KNEE AND BURIED IN THE ABOVE "MASS GRAVE"

"I did not know then how much was ended. When I look back now from this high hill of my old age, I can still see the butchered women and children lying heaped and scattered all along the crooked gulch as plain as when I saw them with eyes still young. and I can see that something else died there in the bloody mud, and was buried in the blizzard. 

A people's dream died there. 

It was a beautiful dream."   

Black Elk, Oglala

Chief Big Foot, MURDERED and His Body Frozen 

"Having wronged them for centuries we had better, in order to protect our civilization, follow it up by one more wrong and wipe these untamed and untamable creatures from the face of the earth. In this lies future safety for our settlers and the soldiers who are under incompetent commands. Otherwise, we may expect future years to be as full of trouble with the redskins as those have been in the past."
Quote - L. Frank Baum, 1891

10 years before L. Frank Baum wrote The Wizard of Oz, he was also calling for the genocide of Native Americans in his editorials.

L. Frank Baum's "GENOCIDE" Editorials

****************************************************

"... every redskin must be killed from off the face of the plains before we can be free from their molestations. They are of no earthly good and the sooner they are swept from the land the better for civilization... I do not think they can be turned and made good law abiding citizens any more than coyotes can be used for shepherd dogs"
Quote - Major John Vance Lauderdale, surgeon US Army. Attending physician at Wounded Knee Massacre


****************************************************

"Hunting redskins became for the time being a popular sport in New England, especially since prisoners were worth good money, and the personal danger to the hunters was now very slight."
From Douglas Edward Leach, Flintlock and Tomahawk: New England in King Philip's War (W.W. Norton & Co. 1958)

"Fact: Most modern scholars estimate the population of the indigenous people of North America to have been between 10-20 million. In 1840, the population was estimated to be around two million. By 1880, native numbers had dropped to 250,000."
"It's Only a Game?" Exhibit, Western Carolina University Cherokee Center and the Native American Student Association at WCU

Bounties offered by the British, French, and American colonial governments ranged in amounts but in some regions a male Indian's skin was worth the same as a deer's "buckskin" hide. Hunters began applying the word "buck" for Indian males.

****************************************************

"Others say it was first used on signs at Dutch Trading Posts that listed the 'skins' they brought. Among them were beaver skins - and redskins. On the Northeast coast, the U.S. Government had put a bounty on American Indians' heads. People had to prove they had killed an American Indian in order to get the bounty. How did they prove it? At first they would bring in the head, but that got too cumbersome, so it simply became the scalps. The prices for scalps were different depending on whether they were taken from a male or a female, and whether they were taken from an adult or a child. Adult females brought the most money because they could produce American Indian offspring killing the reproducing members of a society is a mechanism to reduce the population. How did they prove the sex of the person the scalp once belonged to? For women they would cut off the breasts and present them with the scalp. For children's scalps it was often the feet that were cut off."

****************************************************

Colonists during the Revolutionary War wrote what they did to Indians "tortured . . . whole families, and scalped the dead" and "honored their bravest victims by eating them." The American soldiers "showed off pairs of legging made from the skin of dead Indians."
From Schanzer, Rosalyn - George vs. George : The Revolutionary War as Seen by Both Sides

****************************************************

Redskins" is at the top of the heap on the offense side. Its origins are despicable, arising from bounty-hunting days, when hauling "Indian kill" by the gunnysack and wagonload became too cumbersome. Bounties then were paid for scalplocks, instead of heads, and bloody "red skins," in lieu of whole bodies of Native children, women and men.
- Quote Susan Shown Harjo

****************************************************

"Both being beasts of prey, tho' they differ in shape."

Quote -George Washington, President of the United States of America (Stannard) - referring to Native Americans and wolves

Washington's troops amused themselves by skinning the bodies of Indians "from the hips downward, to make boot tops or leggins."

The Reservation's Ten Commandments

(As Given By The United States of America) 

1. You shall have no other forms of government before me


2. You shall not make for yourself an independent and self-sufficient government, for I am a jealous bureaucracy and will punish the Indian children for the sins of their fathers to the seventh generation of those who hate me


3. You shall not misuse my name or my symbols, for I will impale you on my flagpole


4. Remember the first of each month by keeping it holy The rest of the month you shall go hungry, but the first day of each month is a tribute to me, and you shall receive welfare checks and commodity food in exchange for your continued dependence


5. Honor your Indian father and Indian mother because I have stripped them of their land, language, and hearts, and they need your compassion, which is a commodity I do not supply


6. You shall not murder, but I will bring FBI and CIA agents to your reservations and into your homes, and the most intelligent, vocal, and angriest members of your tribes will vanish quietly


7. You shall not commit adultery, but I will impregnate your women with illegitimate dreams


8. You shall not steal back what I have already stolen from you


9. You shall not give false testimony against any white men, but they will tell lies about you, and I will believe them and convict you


10. You shall not covet the white man's house You shall not covet the white man's wife, or his hopes and opportunities, his cars or VCRs, or anything that belongs to the white man
