The song is about how the native american culture has been watered down, and all but completely eradicated by the white man when they came to the country. It's about their lands being tuned into simply tourist traps for white folks.. how it's all commercialized and exploited now. "Geronimo's Disco", "Sit 'n Bull Steakhouse", etc.
Peter Gabriel himself has talked about the song and it's meaning a number of times.

"hey now... waka tanka" sometimes, heard when wind blows tree leaves.
