Red Skins (Don’t See No Native People On Your Team)

May 10, 2025 In

American Indian Movement

What if you were called the Jews,
Christians, Muslims, or Hindus.
Red Skins, I don’t see no native people on your team.

First you killed us with smallpox.
Now you wave that tomahawk.
Red Skins, I don’t see no native people on your team.

We have problems to solve.
We have problems to resolve.

What if we were to replace
your name with Pale Face?
Red Skins, I don’t see no native people on your team.

Bushel baskets, bounties full
of native scalps, wagon loads
Red Skins, I don’t see no native people on your team.

We have problems to solve.
We have problems to resolve.

Take that feather from your hair.
Red Skins, beware.
Red Skins, I don’t see no native people on your team.

Custer died for your sins.
Oh my God he’s back again.
Red Skins, I don’t see no native people on your team.

We have problems to solve.
We have problems to resolve.

Hey, hey. Ho, Ho.
Little Red Sambo has to go.
Red Skins, I don’t see no native people on your team.
