On this day in 1974, “Come and Get Your Love” was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America. The band, Redbone, was made up of people that had Native and Mexican American heritage. The Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian recognized the group for being the first Native American Rock/Cajun group to have a No.1 single.
Founding brothers, Pat and Lolly Vasquez had Yaqui, Shoshone, and Mexican ancestry. Jimi Hendrix saw them performing on the Vegas strip. Reportedly, Hendrix, who was part Cherokee, said Lolly was the best guitarist he had ever heard and suggested they start a Native American band. They choose the name Redbone because it is a Cajun term for mixed race people. By the time they signed with Epic Records, Pete DePoe (Cheyenne) was their drummer and Tony Bellamy (Yaqui) sang, as well as played guitar and piano.
“Come and Get Your Love” was from the album Wovaka, which also contained the song “We Were all Wounded At Wounded Knee.” Epic Records felt releasing “We Were All Wounded At Wounded Knee” as a single would be a career killer. They released it outside of the US as a single, where it was popular, reaching number 1 in the Netherlands.
In addition to lyrics, Redbone also reflected their heritage in their dress and album art. In the documentary Rumble: the Indians who Rocked the World, David Frickle of Rolling Stone magazine said, “To see them on Midnight Special doing Come and Get Your Love in full regalia, doing the drum chants before they would go into one of their hit records. That was actually - that was pretty heavy.” Pat Vegas himself says, “Here they are, these four Indians, with you know, garb and moccasins and all the things that they’ve seen in film actually playing rock.”

This dugout canoe was found on the banks of the Red River! It dates to the 14th Century! At 34 feet in length, it is the largest Native American canoe ever discovered in Louisiana!
Larto Lake is connected to the Red River through Big Larto Bayou, which is where the dam is located. One can just imagine Native Americans paddling on Larto Lake and the surrounding streams in such a dugout canoe! These water bodies served as liquid highways!
There certainly were plenty of cypress trees around to use as building material. The cypress wood was impervious to insects and rot, as evidenced by this canoe which is over 700 years old!

Many people are thinking that Africa had no history. However, historical and archeological studies have proven that Africa has a richer and greater history than ancient historians have tried to have us believe. 1. The human race is African descent. The oldest known skeletal remains of anatomically modern humans (or homo sapiens) have been unearthed at sites in East Africa. Human remains were discovered in Omo, Ethiopia and date back to 195,000 years, the oldest known in the world. 2. Prehuman skeletons were discovered in Africa between 4 and 5 million years ago. The oldest known ancestral type of mankind is thought to be Australopithecus ramidus, which lived at least 4.4 million years ago. 3. Africans were the first to organize fishing expeditions 90,000 years ago. In Katanda, a region in the northeastern part of Zaire (now Congo), a series of finely crafted harpon tips were recovered, all thoroughly polished and barbed. A tool, equally well designed, was also discovered, it is believed to be a dagger. The findings suggest the existence of a first aquatic or fish-based culture. 4. Africans were the first to start mining 43,000 years ago. In 1964, a hematite mine was discovered in Swaziland on the Bomvu ridge in the Ngwenya mountain range. Eventually, 300,000 items were recovered, including thousands of stone mining tools. Adrian Boshier, one of the archaeologists present at the site, dated the mine to an astonishing 43,200 years old. 5. Africans pioneered basic arithmetic 25,000 years ago. The Ishango bone is a tool handle with engraved notches found in the Ishango region of Zaire (today called Congo) near Lake Edward. The bone tool was originally thought to be over 8,000 years old ...

These four Chiefs were Chief Joseph, Sitting Bull, Geronimo and Red Cloud. Each of these forefathers played an important role in shaping their tribe's customs and history. Because of their influence over the shaping of Native American history, they are often referred to as the real founding fathers.!
