about

Accept Christianity or die. Not much of a choice. Still, many Native people embraced the new religion -- some with sincerity, and others merely in the hope that the white man might leave them alone. Converts were taught that their traditional ways were backward, savage and satanic. Children were forced into boarding schools and punished if they spoke their native languages. As Franz Fanon insightfully pointed out, oppression can compel the colonized to want to emulate their colonizers.

lyrics

Christ-jun Hymn © 2020 Ambiguous

God loves us yes he does
We are his little red children
He’ll reward us in the end
By taking us up to heaven

God loves us yes he does
And even more when we pray in English
He’ll reward us in the end
And save us from our hunger and sickness

And will there be buffalo in heaven
Or will we go hunting for angel hides?

God loves us yes he does
We are his little red children
If we endure the devil’s tests
He will grant us our liberation

God loves us yes he does
Or so they tell us in his missions
And he’ll reward us in the end
And deliver us from our tribulations

And will there be buffalo in heaven
Or will we go hunting for angel hides?
And will there be buffalo in heaven
Or will we go hunting for angel hides?
