“Blankets for land is a bargain indeed” (...collected

“My point in the song is that the American people haven’t been given a fair shake at learning the true history of the American Indian. They know neither the state of poverty that the Indians are in nor how it got to be that way. I try to tell the side of the story that’s left out of the history books, that can only be found in the documents, the archives and in the memories of the Indians themselves.” - Buffy St.-Marie
