This is an amazing video of the late Floyd Red Crow Westerman performing Kris Kristofferson's 'They Killed Him' (thanks AuroraKismet ;-) ) at the Rainbow Warrior Festival in Santa Fe, New Mexico in August of 1988.
I had the privilege of stage managing that event and of all the 20+ amazing acts on the bill, this song stuck out as one of the most moving of the entire 12 hours of music. Authentic, powerful, moving...real.
I was producer of an event a few months following this event in LA at the Director's Guild theater. Floyd was invited to lead the invocation. Turns out he walked down the main isle with a burning bundle of sage...that was about to set off the fire alarm, trigger the sprinklers and send 500 people out the door, ruining the event. He didn't know...and I didn't know that this would be an issue....but there it was...bigger than life. I tried to communicate that he needed to snuff out the sage but he went on with his invocation (which, of course, was beautiful)...and there I am...the white boy idiot...flailing my arms for him to put out the fire...and him looking at me like I'm, well, the white boy idiot. Afterwards I approached him and apologized, explained the situation with the fire department and all...and he said...'Well, I guess that's another good example of 'a clash of cultures'' and turned away. What do you say to that? It's too true. I wanted to go hide under a rock but we had an event to do...but that stuck with me.
I loved Floyd's performance...from the heart of a true Sage...to you.
Enjoy with love....

RIP grandfather red crow. mitakuye oyasin.This song means so much coming from you, as a Native, it has changed my perspective. I appreciate you for all that you have done, never-ending...
❤
It’s the only song that has brought tears to my eyes… and I’ve seen a lot.
This is such a beautiful heartfelt song. Floyd did a most wonderful job of this song. He will be missed by many!
A great composition by Kris Kristofferson performed by the master Floyd Red Crow Westerman
Peace ...Love....and understanding...I miss you Floyd........
been thinking about Red Crow lately...grateful for every time the 4 winds brought our paths together...humbled that he would walk up and bless my song with his chant and my heart with his wisdom. He was a true human being. Aho Mitakuye Oyasin.
My friend Justin Jacobsen sent me this song. He passed away and I was going through our messages, and then I found this unheard. Really touches me.
Lady Kamilah rip sorry for your loss
Hands down, the BEST cover of this song we've ever seen (or heard) #RIP
what a man !!! the love surrounded him and still does :)
I was moved to comment simply because I came to learn of this man's inspirational light upon his passing. Artists' works will be here to speak to generations after we are gone and without knowing a lot about this artist, it was immediately obvious that he left a great light & inspiration. Like Bob Marley, Lucky Dube, Peter Tosh & many others. I look forward to learning from and taking inspiration from his wisdom & artistic gems. joy & all good things to his family, friends & fans! ~dean brown~
Great Cover Song! I think Kris Kristofferson would be proud!
We miss you Floyd. We will keep your songs and words a live. Peace
Love this. I just discovered Red Crow I feel inspired
Tenho boas lembranças do tempo em que conheci essa música... Eu tinha acabado de passar por um processo muito doloroso pra alma e enlouquecedor pra cabeça. Acabara de vencer a síndrome do pânico. Eu estava me sentindo livre, leve e completamente apaixonada pela vida! Abençoado seja onde quer que esteja! Gratidão! Ahow!
The earth is truely missing a gifted man of peace and civil rights activist. It brings tears to my eyes to think about this great man and our loss. Thanks for posting and reminding us all of this great man. May he walk in peace with the elders, holy men and chiefs that he so respecteed.
Sad that Red Crow no longer walks among us in the flesh...but hey Floyd! Can you feel it?
The Spirit is rising and "quickening" is underway.
BEAUTIFUL !!! SUPER !!! :-* :-* :-*
I'm glad I came across this, have not heard a bad version of this song yet. Adding Sitting Bull to the list of "holy men" pointlessly assassinated through time is a worthy gesture.
Awesome song!! Thanks for sharing it :)
great man, we miss u so much
:O Wow!!! I didn't know he sing thats pretty damn good
very great man with very great song, its true
Grandfather we miss you....🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🦉✌
I pray for my brothers
Ken Carey in the beginning, author of the book Starseed Transmissions. :D

Just another holy man,,
LaVar Burton...another truly humble kind soul. I have been blessed.

Just another Holy Man, who dared to be a friend...

Rest in Peace Red Crow. I watched the Rainbow Festival in the link you provided a few years back, but it's not working anymore. Do you have another link?
🥁

Thank you for this clip of Red Crow. He has passed to The Great Spirit in the Beyond and His story will never end… he was a friend … to me and to this Planet. Blessed be
RIP grandfather red crow. mitakuye oyasin.
Very to the point song... sure AZ it gets
Such an amazing soul...his wisdom that he shared with so many and did so willingly. Enjoy the Spirit World my good Sir.
Such wisdom and beauty
Some people SHOULD sing this song, and this man does a fantastic job.. ❤️🇬🇧🙏✌️
Thank you brother love from LONDON 😍🇬🇧🙏💞
Compassionate and as lovely has the stars above. I am deligently seeking forgiveness for my heritage that came to this land and have done ungodly horrific acts to the beautiful native people. God forgive us for our foolish ignorant ways.
I love this this song , it's really beautiful and truth 💖.... 🌈Rip red crow 🌱🌿☘️
Im apache THANK YOU RED CROW YOU ARE WITH GAD NOW AND HEAVEN WITH ALL OUR PEOPLE THERE TOO
Wonderful, thoughtful comments here. I am moved and grateful it has reached so many all these years later. Red Crow lives on...
seen this great man in films only last night i seen him in the x files did not no the man had other talents and i'm sure plenty more long live floyd red crow! and your self! thanks for upload.god bless from england by a paddy or a mick if ya in the states ha
+SuperBarneyd X Files also brought me here. How interacting that a show exploring the "otherness" and "possibilities" of the universe makes people look up a man who is such a huge advocate of our world that we live on. I wonder if he thought about the questions that people would in the future ask about him, all
Sparked from a Sci Fi show. I can't stop hearing him sing and listen to his speeches. Just goes to show that everything we do matters to someone, much less the world around us.
+Mi “iamapoorboy” Poorboy good comment! what a amazing man if the world had some of his wisdom it would be a better world! God bless dude. the truth is out there! ha
many blessings a veil of tears he speaks truth
I'm so touched.. Beautiful. Thank you are watcher thanks,,,,,,love
I am stunned and blown away, what a great opening and song by a great man and whose words still ring truth and echo down the tunnel of time, I hope some are listening.
R.i.p .....Chief Redcrow .....Blessings to all Our Brothers and Sisters 🍁🍀🍁🍀🌹
Rest in Peace,Uncle! You are gone but never forgotten! Red Crow shares my spirit and will always be in my heart! Mitakuye Oyasin A-HO!
The world seems to slow down whenever I hear this song. Truth is simple. Hope Redcrows music always lives.
love this man.......still
He reminds me of my wonderful Grandfather.
My Mom took summer classes at Bemidji, MN in the late 60's, and was very impressed by the man who had sung these beautiful songs that were very dear to her heart... She bought his album and soon my sister and were singing along, word for word.... Although we never actually met Mr. Westerman; we have always been huge fans!!
Us native Americans know the great spirit is the holy spirit ✊🏾🌎🙏🏾
One of the most influential men that I got the honor and privilege to meet. 🙏🏽❤️
me too, and I will never forget that day...at a Pow Wow and conference called the "Medicine Ways Conference"...in So CA at UCSB... where he was a guest speaker and singer, doing this song and many others....He blew my mind....My wife handed him a little piece of paper with a little spontaneous drawing she did of the USA flag, only instead of the stars, on the blue background, she drew a big nazi symbol there...He looked at it , and smiled and said, "Yes , you understand, that's just what we have had to deal with here in this country"....
uve been so lucky
michela derry blessed my friend.
Red Crow, I miss you... grateful for the music, the wisdom and the man...
Mitakuye Oyasin.
OMG What a voice this man had. So beautiful.
What a beautiful song from a beautiful soul!
R.I.P. Red Crow!!!
I honestly think this is one of the best songs ever written. People speak much about Woody Guthrie but I think this man right here deserves a more widely recognized legacy. What a wonderful soul - I'm sure he is crowned in glory with the Father.
agree
Great song, but Kris Kristoferson wrote it, buy I like Floyd's version better. He added the extra verse which is great too.
Rest in peace Floyd you are amazing for ever
Yellow , Black , White, Red , the four directions , four races, four Holy Men.
@@IsnalaW Funny that ive heard this many times from Indigenous people. Its in many books written by indigenous, guess they are just liars?... Whats the truth then if you know it? One problem is that Native Americans are also of many tribes and wisdom. Not all are one in this teaching, it is spoken of many times over though. Just a point, if you have a real answer, speak it and maybe not just post rude slaps in the face, where is your wisdom or teaching of accuracy?
@@IsnalaW i am interested in truth and your comments are wonderful, thank you.
@@IsnalaW Makes sense to me.. A lot of history lost due to the terrible things of the past as well. I may be white but I dislike the past people who did what they did to take this country. Its hard for me to hear this is the best country in the world because it really only means, we have the most expensive military killing machine. I had posted this elsewhere and i will post this for you, White man even killed their own savior Jesus. (thats if he was even real) That will tell you how smart governments are. A lot of people do not agree with the past and its sad what people say about white people when many of us are born this color, we did not do these things, yet we are still blamed for it as a whole when we all know 98% of us have nothing to do with it beyond the color of our skin. Thank you for all your words, i was not trying to upset anyone here, just its great to hear truth about such things.
@@RobMonty248 "(-(-( White man)-)-) even killed their own savior Jesus"
@@sjsabattis Yeah (-(-( Huwhite man )-)-) You know @Rob Monty248 maybe you should read what the Torah says about Jesus.
This man deserves my respect and my prayers.!
Eternal Red Crow
agree
Wow, didn't know Red Crow sang and played guitar, I loved him as 'No Ears' in Buffalo Girls.
Powerful words so true so grateful for all the Holy men and women who have ever lived ♥️
Love this and heartwarming.
This is Uncle Ray on "Walker: Texas Ranger"
WONDERFUL.
Redcrow still here his spirit lives because death is just an illusion. We live on after.....spiritually we are spirits in human bodies everything has a spirit
That's living has a spirit
I believe your so right.
so poignant... so touching... thank you for sharing this...
magnificent ... thank you .. thank you
As long as our human teachings carry on we never really die. Our spirit of love can never be destroyed and even if we feel it can, our love can always be reborn into a new light. Are we willing to change our point of view on life for the benefit of the future even if we do not agree with everything together as a people? Floyd Red Crow, to me you are still here.
It's hard to decribe the fullcircle-feelings of many things in my life sofar now taking place, Watching this video after i'v been crisscrossing the net the last week in search of information concerning the Hopi Legends, 2012-prophecies, Indian Elders speaking in their wisdom... Knew from the start that there was more to the man than just these video's on youtube.
More to him than just Dances with Wolves etc. This one is a Legend. Keep inspiring us all. LOVE HOPE and PEACE to all of us! The Doc
You can listen to his words on the unique album devoted to his memory SENE "Flow - Tribute to Floyd Red Crow Westerman". TH-cam, Spotify and more streaming platforms.
thank you. miss our elder so much.
Miss you Floyd, and your wisdom.. it resonates around the world.. keeping the Spirit alive.
