Artist: Buffy Sainte-Marie Song: Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee Tuning - Standard tabbed by electricbunny [Verse] 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. Huh. [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] Bury my heart at Wounded Knee Deep in the Earth Cover me with pretty lies bury my heart at Wounded Knee. Huh. [Verse] They got these energy companies that want the land and they’ve got churches by the dozen who want to guide our hands and sign Mother Earth over to pollution war and greed [Chorus] Bury my heart at Wounded Knee Deep in the Earth Cover me with pretty lies bury my heart at Wounded Knee. Huh. [Verse] We got the federal marshals We got the covert spies We got the liars by the fire We got the FBIs They lie in court and get nailed and still Peltier goes off to jail [Chorus] Bury my heart at Wounded Knee Deep in the Earth Cover me with pretty lies bury my heart at Wounded Knee. Huh. [Verse] 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’d died of exposure [Chorus] Bury my heart at Wounded Knee Deep in the Earth Cover me with pretty lies bury my heart at Wounded Knee. Huh.. [Verse] We had the Goldrush Wars Aw didn’t we learn to crawl and still our history gets written in a liar’s scrawl They tell ’ya “Honey you can still be an Indian d-d-down at the ’Y’ on Saturday nights” [Chorus] Bury my heart at Wounded Knee Deep in the Earth Cover me with pretty lies bury my heart at Wounded Knee. Huh.

Cette chanson évoque les injustices et les souffrances endurées par les peuples autochtones face aux politiques gouvernementales et à l’exploitation des ressources naturelles. Elle dépeint un tableau sombre où des lois sont mises en place sans véritable compréhension des enjeux, et où les corporations exploitent sans scrupules les terres des réserves. Les paroles parlent aussi de la violence et de la répression auxquelles sont confrontés ceux qui luttent pour leurs droits et leur dignité, comme en témoigne l’histoire tragique de certaines figures emblématiques. L’ensemble souligne un sentiment de désillusion face à une histoire non seulement méconnue, mais souvent falsifiée. Ce cri du cœur appelle à une reconnaissance des faits et à une compréhension des réalités vécues par ces communautés.
