\nPrint \;| Hoopla eBook \;
\nExperience the riveting\ , powerful story of the Native American civil rights movement and the resu lting struggle for identity told through the high-flying career of west co ast rock n' roll pioneers\, Redbone. You've heard the hit song "Come and G et Your Love" in the movie Guardians of the Galaxy\, but the story of the band behind it is one of cultural\, political\, and social importance. Bro thers Pat and Lolly Vegas were talented Native American rock musicians tha t took the 1960s Sunset Strip by storm. They influenced The Doors and jamm ed with Jimmy Hendrix before he was "Jimi\," and the idea of a band made u p of completely Native Americans soon followed. Determined to control thei r creative vision and maintain their cultural identity\, they eventually s igned a deal with Epic Records in 1969. But as the American Indian Movemen t gained momentum the band took a stand\, choosing pride in their ancestry over continued commercial reward. Created with the cooperation of the Veg as family\, painstaking steps were taken to ensure the historical accuracy of this important and often overlooked story of America's past. Part biog raphy and part research journalism\, Redbone provides a voice to a people long neglected in American history.
