If we trace the origin of almost any myth or tale we will usually find an actual event, a real setting, or an original conception, a living human being. Let us be wise enough to learn the true history so that we can recognize a myth when we see one.

This copy I read over 40 years ago now (dang), and it's overdue for a refresh; this was my first history reading that pushed hard against my Western-mythicized education. Even so, this white author was 20 years before Vizenor's concept of "survivance."

Kind of a "spring cleaning" month of various titles that have lived too long on my shelves!

#BuryMyHeart by #TheWaterboys

"Wrote by #MikeScott after reading #DeeBrown's book. Originally intended for the first #Waterboys album it was inexplicably left off and only appeared subsequently on the 12" single of The big music."

"We're God's chosen people
This and other truths I know
Put them into vicious practice
Because the bible tells me so
And I drowned the noble savage
In the blessed holy water
I burned his filthy village
And I civilized his daughter

The liars in this world
Who say we shame the blood of Christ
But killing is his mercy
And nits grow into lice
And all those gooks I napalmed
Man, I did it in God's name
When the fools put me on trial I shouted out
I'm not to blame -- I did it for him!
I did it for him!

I did it for him!
He made do it!
He tore the heavens apart

Bury my heart!
Bury my heart!
Bury my heart!"
