"I've been driving in my Indian Car / To the pound of the wheels drumming in my brain / My dash is dusty, my plates are expired / Please Mr. Officer, let me explain / I've got to make it to a Pow-Wow tonight / I'll be singing 49, down by the river side / Looking for a sugar, riding in my Indian Car."Keith Secola, a Native American Ojibwe from Minnessota, channels Bruce Springsteen and a lot of native pride into his classic song "Ndn Kars," written for the film Dance Me Outside. I heard the song on public radio yesterday, amidst shocking news that the United Kingdom would not allow the Iroquois Nationals lacrosse team to enter England on their own Iroquois Confederation passports, despite support from the US State Department and Hillary Clinton. A sad moment for a people, considering they invented the game. Read more at Lacrosse Playground.
