Content:
"[...]The Indian was defending that which had been his for thousands of years. We are still displacing the American Indian. This year (Note, early 1960's) hundred of families are being moved from a New York State Reservation granted them in a treaty signed by George Washington, to make way for a dam. We are still the invader. The contents of this album is the Indian's side of the story. The songs, written by Peter LaFarge and Johnny Cash, view some of the problems cited here from the Indian's viewpoint. Listen well to these words. They are the thoughts and feeling of a people who deem Custer's Last Stand not a massacre but an Indian Victory over a foe who had broken a promise. Hear the words well and you will discern that simply because we are white , that does not make us pure. Johnny Cash sings well these tales of the Indian's woe. His facility for perception and insight lends validity to these tales of anguish. Johnny is justified in the stand he takes. Johnny Cash is proud of his Cherokee Blood." -Liner notes by Hugh Cherry
