Various - Cherokee Boogie Indians & The Blues (2008)

Indians and Blacks had particularly tragic destinies: genocide, and later ethnocide, for the former; slavery and then segregation for the latter. They cohabited for some three centuries, with fugitive slaves often given shelter by Indian tribes. Crossbreeds were common: Champion Jack Dupree, Lowell Fulson, Big Joe Williams, T-Bone Walker and many others had Indian forebears, generally Cherokee or Choctaw. And the blues refers to Indians, too: going back to one’s “territories” — those immense reservations to which the tribes of the East were deported – is a recurring theme; and returning to a reservation generally meant fleeing the White Man’s world with its exploitation, humiliations and fear.
