| Miscellaneous |
| Indian Reservation (the Lament Of The Cherokee Reservation Indian) |
| Indian Reservation |
| Artists: Paul Revere and the Raiders (peak Billboard position # 1 in 1971) |
| Words and Music by John D. Loudermilk |
| They took the whole Cherokee nation |
| Put us on this reservation |
| Took away our ways of life |
| The tomahawk and the bow and knife |
| Took away our native tongue |
| And taught their English to our young |
| And all the beads we made by hand |
| Are nowadays made in Japan |
| Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe |
| So proud to live, so proud to die |
| They took the whole Indian nation |
| Locked us on this reservation |
| Though I wear a shirt and tie |
| I’m still part redman deep inside |
| Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe |
| So proud to live, so proud to die |
| But maybe someday when they learn |
| Cherokee nation will return, will return, will return, will return, will return |
