I remember my ancestors, who belonged to the Blackfoot Confederacy, who waged a war against the encroachment of the United States into their ancestral lands for over 80 years. And waged wars against all of the neighboring tribes from Alberta to New Mexico. And random fur trappers, prospectors, mountain men, and any other interlopers. We were the greatest warriors on the plains, wild and free, so long as we had our land and our traditions. 

And I remember my father, who lied about his age so that he could enlist in the Marines, to escape the reservation and boarding school. He spent the remainder of his life chasing freedom, though he lacked land or his traditions.

Though the song is not about the Blackfoot it is fucking badass.
