we honor the Treaty of camp Charlotte
the Americans
[Music]
haven't they're supposed to let us live
north of the Ohio river in peace but
they burn our Fields they cut down trees
they slaughter game for sport they sh**t
at us on our shore why must we turn our
backs when we're injured we're losing
our land Our lives our self-respect I
don't say we should attack the American
Americans if they leave us alone I say
we should protect ourselves if they
attack us or else we will be
[Music]
destroyed I gave my word to the
Americans that we would remain at peace
so did many of you I have never gone
back on my word have you but one thing
concerns me even more than my honor as a
man the survival of my people if we
fight the Americans they will come at us
until they destroy us we do not have the
strength to drive them out our best hope
is that the Americans lose the white
man's w*r to the English I am a warrior
it is hard for me not to fight the
Americans but if we can survive this w*r
and the English win we will give our
sons and our daughters and their sons
and daughters a chance to survive
too

daring to take issue with the mob has
the right nay the responsibility to
