Indirect Genocide Lyrics

The Indians relied upon and hunted the buffalo for thousands of years. It provided them everything they needed. Not the smallest part of it was wasted:

Skin and flesh, sinew and bone... truly gave them all they owned.

Their food, clothing, shelter, the center of their belief –
They could have lived with the bison for eternity

Hold on to pride and tradition
Or else you will face expiration

Then, with the arrival of the white man, started the gradual process of the buffalo massacre that reached full momentum in the 1870s.

Decimated the buffalo, the Indians' spirit crushed also

Sustenance extinguished, indirect genocide
Today as a necessity exemplified

Hold on to pride and tradition
Or else you will face expiration
