Brewer and Shipley - Witchi-tai-to

Originally composed by Jim Pepper, a jazz musician of Creek and Kaw Indian heritage, this version of the song was performed by Brewer and Shipley on their 1969 album, “Weeds“. It’s based on a chant that was handed down to Jim from his grandfather. The video is a slide-show set to music, using some of the most picturesque places in America, animals that are held as traditionally sacred to most all Native American tribes, as well as photos and paintings of some esteemed Creek and Kaw leaders.
