The exact origins of the American Indian Movement song Phillips sang are disputed—some say it was written in homage to the brutally murdered Oglala Lakota elder Raymond Yellow Thunder—but it dates back to the early 1970s, when it was popularized by Severt Young Bear, the Oglala Lakota lead singer of the Porcupine Singers, and sung widely at the occupation of Wounded Knee, South Dakota, in 1973. It has become an anthem for an organization that was founded, in part, to address incidents of harassment and racism—a song of strength, and courage, protection against the kind of taunting that Phillips has endured his entire life.
