There's a book, several or many, really, you ought to read. The one I am thinking of first is "Not Stolen," by Professor Jeff Flynn-Paul. All Americans born on U.S. soil are natives, BTW. My ancestors have been in North America since the 17th century. Link Wary was so proud to be an American Indian, that he moved to Sweden and married a Swedish woman.

exactly its an old program

My dad prefers American Indian because this land was never America before colonization. He sees native Americans as the people born here after america was founded by white settlers. Prefacing indian with American makes it more of a modification to the term indian than the identifying ethnicity.... No native American existed if america wasn't founded yet 🤷

@@gotninjalotusness So how does prefacing Indian with 'American' take out / pre-date America? (Or lose the reference to India for that matter?) Makes even less sense actually..(?)

​@@gotninjalotusnesswhat you just said makes zero sense. Maybe reword? or actually I don't care that much if you do or dont.... Every indigenous/native person of the America's I ask, does prefer indigenous, some are just fine with with native.. what I found most preferred is that you respect and understand before colonization this was never India. The government historically used the title Indian in the most disrespectful and negative way. "Indian" and "savages" went hand and hand when written in government context. These are my words/feelings and I come from colonizer ancestry. I use indigenous or ask to be safe because it's a sensitive subject that validates enough respect to ask.

Link also served as a medic in the Korean War, contracting tuberculosis during his tour of duty. One of his lungs was removed in 1956. Later, at his home in Maryland, his six-year-old son drowned in a pond on the property. As far as moving to Sweden, in 1979 he married a Dutch woman and they moved to Copenhagen, Denmark, where he stayed for the rest of his life. Furthermore, there is a long tradition of American musicians finding favor in Europe, especially starting after WWII. Dexter Gordon, Eric Dolphy, Kenny Clarke, Oscar Pettiiford, Hazel Scott, Stan Getz, and many more made the trek, finding new opportunities and audiences in Paris and Stockholm. Some stayed, some didn't, but the die was cast. Seen in that light, Link's decision doesn't seem all that unusual. By the way, @deaddocreallydeaddoc5244, have you ever been to Europe?

It’s a well documented fact that it was banned. Also, he moved to Denmark, not Sweden.

Maybe they just didn't have time. Or maybe Testament wasn't available.

It will be on ARTE in France

Thanks Mark

scheduled to air on PBS as a documentary

Sarah Great news ! Do you know when ?

contact your pbs stations i think

Lol sure, Charley Patton was not indian and his influences were not either.

Natives were treated worse than slaves 😂 natives owned black slaves 😂 ever heard of the 1842 slave revolt in the Cherokee nation? Where black slaves rose up against their Cherokee masters! The choctaw Indian female slave owner Lavinia pitchlynn Harkins had her black slave lucy burned alive at the stake. The Cherokee Indian james vann had a slave hung by her thumbs and another slave burned alive. Sophia burthen pooley wrote about being owned by the Iroquois mohawk Indian joseph brant and being abused his Indian wife. The Chickasaw Indian Jackson Kemp who owned 61 slaves and who owned the black actor don cheadles family had 20 slaves that ran away. The creek Indians were selling black slaves and runaway black slaves to Benjamin Hawkins. There were black slaves that died on the trail of tears and many were kids. The black slave prince killed his choctaw Indian slave owner Robert Harkins.

To test the strongest of the strong. Ephesians 6:12-20 KJV For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Well who was a Famous Black foot -Black Feet Musician ? I Know in the New Movie wonder woman the Actor is From Alberta And is Black Foot

TXC is talking about Ricky Metlock's band, Blackfoot ("Highway Song"). Metlock is a Lakota Sioux.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a8qVYMZoupbQY2g.html

Read the credits. Ricky Medlock is in the film and his name is listed at the end of this trailer

Maybe they asked and his family said no...

Is there any famous Blackfoot- Black feet Musicians ? I know the guy who had the Indian part on the new Wonder woman Movie is A Blackfoot from Alberta ,,

Ricky Metlock is in the film as is Blackfoot. See the film

"logical debater" that "doesn't take political sides" recommends whiny, women-hating conservative rhetoric and propaganda exclusively, on a trailer for a documentary on Native Americans in popular music history.

No it didn't 😂 black people literally predate indians doing blues music! Hill country blues, piedmont blues, fife and drum blues, betonia school and vaudeville blues had nothing to do with indians 🤣 buddy bolden, prince McCoy, baby seals Franklin, W.C. handy, pete Hampton, john w.f. woods of lavilla Florida, Virginia Liston, lillyn brown, princess white, gonzell white as well as numerous other black musicians predate charlie patton and any indian doing blues music! Not only did we create blues music and predate indians doing blues music we also surpassed them in blues music!!! As well any American music by miles it's not even close lol

@@kahlilboi black Americans are indigenous Indians hello. That’s the point all of y’all seem to be missing .

Researchers went to Africa to find traces of the blues. No traces were found. Even Buddy Guy went to a place were so called roots of the blues should be found and he could not find it. Meaning he could not hear similarities in the music culture of Africa and the blues. So that is almost certain that blues as a whole probably did not came as a whole from the African coast. So where does the blues come from? Officially we don't know. And unofficially it comes from Afro Americans. But we just showed that no traces were found at the coast of Africa. So were did this wailing, mourning sound come from? This deep beat? Since Europeans came to America they had sometimes peace and sometimes not so much peace with native Americans. Much of the time Native Americans were seen as dangerous. Europeans did not value the culture of native Americans a lot. So not much documentation. These two things can belong together. Cause there is a strong beat in Native America music. And Native American music has wailing and mourning ways of singing. Plus the fact that Natives lived with ex slaves to give them a safe place. Both had hard times. Both had musical styles. In my opinion they played eachother music. It is to me getting clearer and clearer that Blues is a cooperative style. Both Native and African and also European because of the European harmonies on the guitar and or piano.

Why blackwash music? Just cause white people taught you how to doesn’t mean you should ignore an entire race of people. 🤣

Exacly they cannot even name one indian blues singer Charley Patton was biracial not indian and his influences were all black.

​​​​​​​​@@1glassMilknative Americans didn't just live with black slaves, they owned black slaves😂 ever heard of the 1842 slave revolt in the Cherokee nation? Where black slaves rose up against their Cherokee masters? The creek Indians were selling black slaves and runaway black slaves to Benjamin Hawkins.there were no blues music or blues antecedents in America prior to the arrival of Africans, so it certainly didn't come from indians😅 blacks brought the banjo , diddly bow, berimbau, musical bow, mbira, marimbula, cajon, Congos, bongos, donkey jaw aka quijada, balafon, akan drum, marimba, not only that but blacks invented the washboard instrument and the washtub bass, whamola, vest frottoir etc etc even before blues we created bomba in Puerto Rico/ Ecuador and lundu in Brazil. Hill county blues, fife and drum blues, Piedmont blues, bentonia school and classic female blues etc etc had nothing to do with indians. Blues music come from a combination of spirituals of the enslaved Africans and black folk songs of the rural south like I'm so glad, trouble in my mind, you gotta move, poor boy blues ,roll Jordan roll, make me a pallet on the floor none of these songs came from indians. The ring shout, field hollers, congo square ,junkanoo, bamboula , pinkster, banya prei, kakilambe, douga, buzzard lope etc etc

​@@flora-3603we don't even know if he was even Indian, it's still speculation.
