There is something that I can not see Why the UNITED STATES has broken So many AMERICAN INDIAN treaties? We should put our heads down in shame For the AMERICAN INDIANS are Not the ones to blame. They have been fighting so long for their rights And have made the ultimate sacrifice. They have given their lives for this nation And still do not see their salvation. All other ethnic groups have become free from oppression And their Indian rights have been left to the u.s. discretion. Why are they still classified as wards Of the government, and their lives Are still below the poverty line? Isn’t this the biggest sign ! That they are still discriminated against. They live in one room houses and shacks And the government has turned their backs. No running water and no electricity. Is this the way it’s got to be? A family of four or more Sleeping on a ***** floor. They were once known as the Indian nations Now it’s total devastation. People all over the world have heard How the west was won That it was with the almighty gun. They just hear the one sided story Of how Custer rode to glory. But not the sufferings that they Put the Indians through And all they had to endure. And suffer the humiliation of defeat And drop down and scrounge for meat.
