Mass Senator E. Warren Performs "I'm an Indian, Too" - At Boson County Fair - 18 Sept 2019

Boson County Fair had a treat when Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is running for president in 2020, took to the stage in a good-natured  song number poking fun at her cultural appropriation of Native American Indian identity to get a job at Harvard Law School as the "First Woman of Color" despite being a blonde blue-eyed European. 


"I'm an Indian Too" is a song from the 1946 musical Annie Get Your Gun, by Irving Berlin. It was originally performed by Ethel Merman.^[1] It is sung by the main character Annie after Sitting Bull adopts her into the Sioux tribe

It is typical of mid-20th-century views of Native Americans, and is sometimes considered racist and demeaning from a contemporary perspective, although others see it as a mildly satirical attack on racial stereotyping. Native Americans did protest outside the New York theatre, as well as movie theaters, holding picket signs stating: "Don't See "Annie Get Your Gun". As a result of this reaction, many contemporary productions have omitted the song from their revivals,^[2] and the protests stopped.

In 1979, the song was remixed and released as a dance track by disco artist Don Armando.^[3]
Other singers to have recorded the song include Judy Garland and Betty Hutton.

ANNIE OAKLEY and INDIAN CHORUS:
Ook-a-looka
Gah-hay-la-kinka
La-ha-hoo-way
Hoo-way

ANNIE:
Like the Chippewa,
Iroquois,
Omaha...
Like those Indians
I'm an Indian too
A Sioux
A Sioux

Just like Rising Moon
Falling Pants
Running Nose
Like those Indians
I'm an Indian too
A Sioux
A Sioux

Some Indian drummers they're without a care
I may run away
With Big Chief Sun-of-A-Bear

And I'll have totem poles
Tomahawk
Small papoose
Which will go to prove
I'm an Indian too
A sioux
A sioux
A sioux
Oh, I'm an indian
I'm an Indian
I'm an honest Injun Indian
I'm an Indian, too.
