"Cherokee Nation" was a John Loudermilk penned song originally titled "Indian Reservation" that was originally popularized by Paul Revere & the Raiders. As for the original song, the story goes that Loudermilk's car got snowed in during a blizzard and he was saved by Cherokees. They asked him to write a song about their plight.
I never really liked the Paul Revere version. Ill Repute just hit the nail on the head by maximizing the power of the message.
