I love how he says that "progress came and took its toll". This song does a great job of relating how people seem to only see how the world can better them rather than co-existing with nature. It's such a sad song but is so true with nearly all modern civilization.
Amazing to think that the Natives were viewed as such savages but had so much of a better understanding of their place in the world. It's been hundreds of years and people still have such a view of ownership and entitlement with land.
