The more remarkable story is John Smith's. Poky was not the first gal to save his life. If I recall correctly...

In the wars against the Turks in Transylvania, he was captured, and sold into slavery in Ukraine. The Turk who bought him, his gal fell in love with him as saved his life. He escaped north, went up the river thru Russia, came back to England, then went out adventuring to the new world. Had one helluva life.

Really interesting videos about Pocahontas..The videos revealed plenty of information..

You know here in Europe, at least for my generation Pocahontas, until I saw this videos, was not a real person, but a Disney character, and made for girls, so for years what I knew about Pocahontas was that.
Then I found this videos, and others , there are more available yet, and I finally realise how Pocahontas, Squanto/Tisquantum, John smith and tobacco are so related and at the same time so importante in the beginning of the USA

this is an Apache song about tobacco

From everything I have seen and heard in this life, I gotta say your North American Indian, God Bless him, does not have a musical bone in his entire body.

loll now I'm confused, isn't that video the way how traditional Apache music should sound?

That's exactly what I am saying. Traditional Indian music, you take a tambourine, beat on it monotonously with one stick until you get a headache, chant "Hey yay wo ho yo ho no nay" about as tuneless as a goat in heat, while you hop round on one foot. What one Indian who went to Julliard did recently is not my point.

Hey, here's one I was amazed at when I read it years back: Apparently, the Hawaiians, who are about the most melodious folk you could imagine at this point, but, when the white man first came there, I read they had no notes. All their songs were tuneless chant. There's a heck of a transformation. They are sure a mellifluous lot now, aren't they? Golden throats.

webmost,
Rather than continuing to post racially insensitive and generally uninformed comments about Native American music (which frequently served spiritual and meditative functions, as well as a common means for relating cultural history), perhaps you might spend a little time reading about it. Your inability to understand the words of songs does not mean they are gibberish.

Did not call it gibberish. Said I find it unmusical.
Don't see what's racial about that.

I tell you I can't keep up with all the things you can't say.

My tribe's Blackfoot by the way.
