SAN FRANCISCO -- Listen as Bill Means, cofounder of the International Indian Treaty Council, remembers Raymond Yellow Thunder. Speaking during the AIM-West 40-year Reunion on Nov. 28, Mean's memories are followed by the AIM song.
In 1972 Raymond Yellow Thunder, Lakota from Porcupine, S.D., was brutally murdered in the border town of Gordon, Nebraska. When Yellow Thunder's relatives sought justice, they found none.
"They stripped him from the waist down and they took him into the American Legion Hall on Saturday night dance," Means said. "They told him to dance Indian."
Raymond Yellow Thunder's feet were burned with cigarettes. "They beat him to death and they found him two days later in a trunk of a car. Nobody would help him."
"That is the way Indian people used to face justice," Means said, from coast to coast, wherever there were border towns, there was racism.
Gordon, Nebraska was "the Mississippi of the north." The signs read, "No dogs or Indians allowed," when four-thousand people Indian people marched into town.
"We marched and we took over the town, we took that town for four days."
During four days of Red Ribbon Grand Jury hearings, AIM recorded over 200 civil rights violations with the US Justice Department and Civil Rights Commission.
It was a turning point for the American Indian Movement. The days of just carrying signs was over.
"They knew they couldn't kill our people anymore without us coming to challenge them," Means said. He said this AIM song was created in memory of Raymond Yellow Thunder and Indian people in all the border towns.
"Always remember Raymond Yellow Thunder."
My Uncle wrote this song. I am so proud every time I hear it. Him, his brothers and uncle sang it for AIM when he was young. They were known as the Mission Flat Singers. ❤️
Youre like the 30th person saying your relative wrote it. But when we ask you WHO... suddenly you're silent like hinhan oyate.
We play this every day for our warriors and ancestors

I heard this song sung by an AIM member in my area but I did not know that the song is in memory of Raymond Yellow Thunder. I was sickened to read about what happened to him. I will remember his name each time I hear this powerful song.
Thank you for singing.I am lost,it's nice to feel the fire this song starts.
This song strengthens my resolve
Aho my brothers. very powerful song I felt it right in my heart and soul. To all my AIM brothers.

This is the first song I knew my heart
Proud Siksika woman here much respect to AIM
Un día estando en casa de un amigo que tenía una batería le dije nunca he tocado ese instrumento pero te hago una apuesta de que te saco una melodía y seguro la has escuchado...
Se sorprendió...y dijo... acepto... dale...
Me arremangue la camisa,me senté, tome las vaquetas y dije listo?... vá...
Comencé a tocar una melodía similar a la del vídeo...inspirado en éstos y otros videos que desde niño ví en diversas películas...
Él explotó en risa y entre carcajadas dijo...ganaste!!!.
Creo que en mí otra vida anterior fuí nativo...pues me atrae su cultura.
Saludos cordiales desde Acayucan.
It was an honor to. Be at Wounded Knee in ‘73. Mahalo!
I know this song too and I'll place it in my heart today,Dusty Bull..

Greetings from England. If you click on the small, black, triangular arrow, right at the beginning, a drop down tells you what it is about. It is now 2021 and I hope with all my heart that Native Americans are not treated like that nowadays.
Can you share the lyrics of the song, please?
Un grande popolo. Grande spiritualità
Beat your drums and the spirit will be heard for ever.
milostanko71 THE DRUM IS THE HEARTBEAT OF THE PEOPLE, AND THE HEART OF THE PEOPLE SHALL REMAIN!

I wonder what year this was?
this video and soundtrack was recorded at (now defunct) "riverrockradio studios" in Indiana. i believe it was in 2009...there are several more tracks not released..and could possibly surface in the coming months. check out my Utube channel.
