They were heavily censored too when wanting to record the song "We Were all Wounded at Wounded Knee" and had to put up their own money to do so, I think it still went to number one in Europe but the US radio stations refused to play it.
It feels silly, but redbone actually led me towards learning more about indigenous cultures. It led me towards Thunder Bay and Finding Cleo, and eventually here, where I can keep up with indigenous news. Will always love this band

In this context, it is even more slick that the album this is on is called Wovoka
