Just in case you would want to argue the point, according to Indian custom and tradition when you are raised by them or adopted into the tribe you are one of them, the content of you blood is of no signification, that was a colonial thing used to disclude people. Simon Girty was born on Indian land, was adopted and raised by them, and was an Indian before he decided to help the rebels with interpretation, when he fled he was going back to his own people, they recognized that, Historians made the families of fur trading dynasties the fall guys, when many helped the rebels, I have father and son on opposite sides on more than one occasion basically for the same reasons,This is not an anti American song, this is a pro Indian and Indian/Interpreter/Fur trader Song, after all they really were the original Americans Here.
