7/28/2009 I have been reading lately about the Native American culture, most recently about the Hopi and Lakota tribes. I was reading a biography about Jimi Hendrix, who was (I think) 1/4 Cherokee, and his music, both lyrics and sound were greatly influenced by his interest and exposure to his Native American roots. Much of what he wrote that, on the surface, seems "psychedelically" influenced (3rd Stone from the Sun, etc) was, in fact, woven from his studies of the origins of the Hopi tribes along with his beliefs and his view of the world. If you get a chance I would incourage you to pick up a book or two about American Indians from the library and look into these cultures, and after doing a little bit of homework go back and listen to some of Jimi's interviews, and I think you'll find that much of what he says makes perfect sense!!!
