good morning
i 'm looking for an amerindian rock band of the 70's who write a song talking about wounded knee
many thanks for yours answers

I found two and I'm not too sure which one you are looking for (if it is one of these two).

The first one:

ARTIST: Buffy Sainte-Marie
TITLE: Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee
Lyrics and Chords


Indian legislation on the desk of a do-right Congressman
Now, he don't know much about the issue
So he picks up the phone and he asks advice from the
Senator out in Indian country
A darling of the energy companies who are
Ripping off what's left of the reservations

/ D - A - / D G / A - / D Bm / G A / Bm G A - /

I learned a safety rule, I don't know who to thank
Don't stand between the reservation and the corporate bank
They send in federal tanks, it isn't nice but it's reality

/ A - Bm - / A F# Bm - / A - F# - Bm - - - /

Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
Deep in the Earth
Cover me with pretty lies
Bury my heart at Wounded Knee

/ D C G - / / / /

They got these energy companies who want the land
And they've got churches by the dozens want to guide our hand
And sign Mother Earth over to pollution, war and greed
  Get rich, get rich quick

{Refrain}
Bury my heart at Wounded Knee - Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
Deep in the Earth - Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
Cover me with pretty lies - Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
Bury my heart at Wounded Knee - Bury my heart at Wounded Knee

We get the federal marshals, we get the covert spies
We get the liars by the fire, and we get the FBIs
They lie in court and get nailed, and still Peltier goes off to jail
  The bullets don't match the gun

Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
An eighth of the reservation - Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
Transferred in secret - Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
Murder and intimidation - Bury my heart at Wounded Knee, Aiyi-aiyi

My girlfriend Annie Mae talked about uranium
Her head was filled with bullets and her body dumped
The FBI cut off her hands and told us she died of exposure

{Refrain}

Bury my heart at Wounded Knee - Bury my heart at Wounded Knee (4X)

We had the goldrush wars, ah, didn't we learn to crawl
And now our history gets written in a liar's scrawl
They tell ya, "Hey, honey, you can still be an Indian d-d-down at the Y on
Saturday nights"

{Refrain twice}

The second one:


Nik Kershaw
» Wounded Knee

There we were, living on our island in the sun
Life was so easy, there was plenty for everyone
'Long come a white man who saw the milk and honey
Now we're making due while he's making all the money
Oh no, not a Wounded Knee
Another wheel stops rolling
Oh no, not a Wounded Knee again
There we were, living in our village in the trees
We were minding our own business,
We were doing as we please
'Long came a white man with attitudes and axes
Now we're doing overtime and paying lots of taxes
(Chorus)
The promises and gifts he brings
In honor of the songs he sings
Are tearing us apart
We were pow-wowing to our hearts content
We had the great spirit, we didn't need a president
'Long came a white man from the civilised nations
Now he ain't having second thoughts
But we've got reservations
Oh no, not a Wounded Knee
Another wheel stops rolling
Oh no, not a Wounded Knee
Another bell starts tolling
Oh no, not a Wounded Knee
Another people starts calling
Oh no, not a Wounded Knee again


I hope this helps.

Thanks you Cat but it's not the hit I think it's very difficult to find this because they made, perhaps, one or two lp's(it's not XIT).
The person who find is the king of the forum or a great professional.

Finally I found:the band is Redbone,the song is Witch queen of New Orleans.
That made a long time that I sought almost 30 years.
Once again thank you CatwomanofV
Friendly from France  :)
