Redbone is an American band that was originally formed in Los Angeles in 1969 by brothers Pat and Lolly Vegas. All members during their commercial peak were of Chicano and Native American heritage, something heavily reflected in their songs, stage regalia, and album art.

It’s still a bit problematic, though—the stereotype. They’re toeing the Amos & Andy line.

Pat Vegas on FB: "1970 we opened the VERY FIRST #EarthDay w Senator Muskie in Philadelphia. To share in the love of our sacred planet w 30,000 others was a beautiful experience.

You know what's amazing? At that time, culturally, it was wide open: folk, mult forms of rock, harmonizing, the beginnings of the club influence( disco), British invasion, pop, Motown, R&B. Clothes & appearance was anything goes. These guys weren't "unusual". Love it.

We Were Right

Marlon Brando sent an indigenous woman to accept his Oscar, the ‘crying Indian’ ad was HUGE, kids still played Injun on tv but it was cartoony not trauma based. One Flew Over the Coocoo’s Nest was ABOUT an indigenous man’s deconstruction and foundational spiritual strength. He goes knowingly.
