"We Are The Redmen" (older)

We are the redmen tall and quaint (arms folded across chest)
We are the redmen tall and quaintIn our feathers and warpaint (make feathers with fingers on top of head, touch face for warpaint)
We come home from fighting afar (shade eyes with hand)
Greeted by our long-nosed squaw (make motion of long, curving nose)

Chorus: Pow-wow, Pow-wow
Chorus: We're the men of the old dung cow
Chorus: For we are the redmen
Chorus: Feathers-in-our-head men
Chorus: Down among the dead men
Chorus: Ugh, pow-wow.

We can fight with sticks and stones (hit air with closed hands)
Bows and arrows (pantomime pulling back bow)
Bricks and bones (hit air with closed hands)

"Indians are High-Minded" (middle, older) Good action song.

Indians are high-minded (put one hand on top of the other, raise one, lower one)

They climb trees and they don't mind it (shake head "no")
All day long. (Make circular motion with both hands)
