| A "live off the floor" demo of John going solo. As Sitting Bull and 6000 Sioux refugees crossed The Medicine Line into Canada in 1873, only a handful of North West Mounted Police were there to greet them. What these "men of honor" witnessed is portrayed fervently and reflectively in this ballad based on the betrayal, demise of the culture, decimation, and destruction of livelihood of the Plains Aboriginal Nations of North America. |
