The composer's Great Grandmother, Grandmother, father...came from Wounded Knee up into Canada, at various stages as new immigrants and new politicians from Europe. Wounded Knee was a multi-cultural community much like Toronto and we are NOT Indians. My dna is French/Spanish/Norwegian-German/Inuit/Italian/Scottish/English/Irish...7 dna country +. Some people refer to us as Heniz 57. The greatest movement of fleeing survivors was in 1792 of both the Sioux and other First Nations but it also included both new and old European settlers with only one dna. I was in Wounded Knee in 1993. I was born in Canada. It was in 1792 that North American First Nations changed their names to blend in with the Canadian communities. First Nations were not allowed to own land in the US. In Canada, First Nations have the same rights as everyone else. In the US, it is, "guilty until proven innocent", and in Canada, it is, "innocent till proven guilty." Until the US citizens change their judicial viewpoints, anyone, white, black, coloured...can lose their homes and lands and can be held, without trial, at the whims of a scam artist, right?
The Canadian historical book entitled, "The Trail of the Black Walnut," (referring to the walnut tree planted by settlers) explains the great movement of both First Nations and early settlers that fled up into Canada. It is more about the settlement then about battles and the loss of homes and lands in the US. The word, "reserve", in Canada refers to land set aside that could be sold. Thus, there were Catholic reserves for Catholics, Protestant reserves for Protestants and simple reserves for clans of immigrants. The word reserve was never used towards one set of people that would never be allowed to leave, or moved at the whims of a politician and his armies. People in Canada who make such claims pertaining to US reserves for aboriginals are usually NOT First Nations Canada but from South America, Mexico, Tawaiin, China, Spain, right? Unfortunately, many said, "colours" who were the children of illegals were sent to Reform schools that later became known in the 1950's as Residential Schools. These are children with usually one dna and they are without a country...left behind...or unwanted...or, like my family, that had money or land. I was in a Residential school for a few weeks.
This song never had any “religious” verses in its original writing. It is an original Canadian folk song from the 1920’s. Does it always have to have someone come along and completely change the contex with religion. It is about an individual longing for the north woods and his home.
Do you not see it’s being hosted in a church? Also this song is a Canadian folk song, last time I checked the countries we have in North America were found by Christian’s, and some pagan influences from the natives.
This song has some great memories for me. I was in scouts from age five to nineteen and this song was always sang around the campfire
