...In the Beginning... #15 As Spotted Otter danced across the face of her world, she began to hear the Ghost Whispers of the children of the sun; the first People; those born of the First Voice. Ancient rhythms, chants and songs began to fill her waking dreams. War between the just and unjust, war with the French and their Iroquois allies, alliances with the Illinois, war with the Caddo are now history that Swift Horse dreamed and foretold. The Osage, once a peace-loving people, earned their place among the warrior tribes of the Sioux Nation and were at Little Bighorn. Indian legends, stories, prophecies and heroes began collecting in her mind, where her imagination made them nearly constant companions; companions often tumultuous and disturbing. Ghost Dance…Robbie Robertson and the Red Road Ensemble Crows brought the message To the children of the sun For the return of the buffalo And for a better day to come You can kill my body You can damn my soul For not believing in your god And some world down below You dont stand a chance against my prayers You dont stand a chance against my love They outlawed the Ghost Dance But we shall live again, we shall live again My sister above, she has red paint She died at Wounded Knee, like a latter day saint You got the big drum in the distance Blackbird in the sky Thats the sound that you hear When the buffalo cry You dont stand a chance against my prayers You dont stand a chance against my love They outlawed the Ghost Dance But we shall live again, we shall live again Crazy Horse was a mystic; He knew the secret of the trance And Sitting Bull the great apostle; Of the Ghost Dance Come on Comanche Come on Blackfoot Come on Shoshone Come on Cheyenne We shall live again Come on Arapaho Come on Cherokee Come on Paiute Come on Sioux We shall live again We shall live again. We used to do the Ghost Dance We used to do the Ghost Dance We don’t sing them kind of songs no more.
