Cette chanson aborde les injustices subies par les peuples autochtones, mettant en lumière la fierté et l'héritage culturel qui continuent à vivre malgré les épreuves. Elle souligne le contraste entre les promesses faites par les gouvernements et la réalité des traitements subis, en questionnant la sincérité de ces engagements. La perte des bisons est ici un symbole fort de la destruction des traditions et des terres des peuples natifs. Dans un contexte historique où les droits des autochtones ont souvent été bafoués, les paroles rappellent que ces luttes ne sont pas seulement des souvenirs du passé, mais des réalités contemporaines. L'artiste appelle à la prise de conscience et à l'action, dénonçant la continuité des injustices dont ces communautés souffrent aujourd'hui.
