Paul Revere & The Raiders - Indian Reservation [Cherokee] [Lament] [MP4]

Indian Reservation (The Lament Of The Cherokee Reservation Indian): “Indian Reservation (The Lament Of The Cherokee Reservation Indian)“ is a song written by John D. Loudermilk. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The first hit version was a 1968 recording by Don Fardon – a former member of The Sorrows – that reached number 20 on the Hot 100 in 1968 and number 3 on the UK Singles Chart in 1970. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In 1971, The Raiders recorded “Indian Reservation“ for Columbia Records, and it topped the Hot 100 on July 24. On June 30, 1971, the RIAA gold certified the record for selling over a million copies. The record was later certified platinum for selling an additional million copies. The song was the group’s only Hot 100 Number 1 hit and their final Hot 100 Top 20 song. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Revere & The Raiders (also known as “Raiders“) were an American rock band formed in Boise, Idaho, in 1958. They saw considerable U.S. mainstream success in the second half of the 1960s and early 1970s. The band was known for including Revolutionary War-style clothes in their attire. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In spite of the song’s title, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians and the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma are not known as “reservations“, and singing that they may someday “return“ is at odds with the fact that these Cherokee Nations still exist. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Indian Reservation: An Indian reservation is an area of land held and governed by a U.S. federal government-recognized Native American tribal nation, whose government is semi-sovereign, subject to regulations passed by the United States Congress and administered by the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs, and not to the U.S. state government in which it is located. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I [UncleCaligula] do not own the copyrights to this song.
