Essay
:Cherokee war song is part of the memoirs of Lieut Henry Timberlake Who accompanied three Cherokee chiefs to London. Timberlake noted that many of the Cherokee war songs were beautiful to listen to and were created ad lib. Cherokee war song although at first glance it may seem as if it is violent and vengeful; the key value the speaker of the poem gives off is the lamentation of people who have been persecuted and displaced who wish for the safety of them and their families. The Lenape war song on the other hand can be considered more of a religious song rather than a war song: it is a prayer which the people of Lenni Lenape tribe would sing before they went to war with the Europeans. Both of the war songs give insights to the cruel nature of war, as well as the love of family and community/ tribe.
One key value that the speaker in the Cherokee war song and in the Lenape war song have is the desire to ensure safety and peace for their respective families and community. In Cherokee war song the poem states that, Pinchd by each blast, by evry thicket torn, run back to their own nation, now its scorn. (Cherokee war song). From this excerpt it is clear that the Cherokee people just want the English men to go back to their homeland or rather country and leave their (the Cherokee peoples) land and people alone. In the Lenape war song, the speaker states
that, O! though Great Spirit above! Take pity on my children and on my wife! Prevent their mourning on my account! (Lenape war song) In this excerpt, the speaker is asking the gods to protect his family from any dangers that may occur or ensue when he is way, he also in the poem is asking the gods to protect him so that he can back to his family
Another key value of the speakers of the Cherokee war song and the Lenape war song is the cruel nature of war : In Cherokee war song, the speaker states that, But when we go, who knows which shall return, when growing dangers rise with each new morn? Farewell, ye little ones, ye tender wives, for you alone we would conserve our lives. (Cherokee war song). This excerpt showcases that the men would go off to fight in order to protect their families from the invaders, however, they (the warriors)would worry if they would be able to make it back home at the end of the day to their loved ones. In the Lenape war song, the poem opens with the statement, O poor me! Who am I going out to fight the enemy, and know not whether I shall return again, to the embraces of my children and my wife. (Lenape war song) Similar to the speaker of the Cherokee war song, the speaker of the Lenape war song is worried whether he would be able to make safe back home. This showcases that the war between the Europeans and the Natives were so cruel that it left many of the warriors dead therefore whenever the warriors went for war, they did not know whether or not they would make back home alive.
Both of the speakers, in both war songs showcase a key value of wanting to drive the enemy (the Europeans) out of their land and territories. In the Cherokee war song, the speaker states that, Like men we go, to meet our countrys foes, who woman-like, shall fly our dreaded blowsLet them sit down, from friends and country far, and wish, with tears, they neer had
come to war.. Their painted scalps shall be a step to fame, and grace our own glorious countrys name. (Cherokee war song) In this excerpt, the speaker is essentially stating that they would revert to using violence to destroy the white man who invaded their territory, killed their loved ones and stole their lands. The Lenape war song speaker states that, Grant that I may be successful in this attempt- That I may slay my enemy, And bring home the trophies of war to my dear family and friends that we may rejoice (Lenape war song) The speaker is essentially asking the great spirits to give him strength to win the war and this involved killing the enemy or driving them back to their home country.
From observation, it is clear that both the Cherokee war song and the Lenape war song are a plea of people who have been stolen from, murdered, displaced and are therefore terrified and exhausted and just want safety of them, their families and the community at large so that their life can be as it were before the European invaded. The speaker showcase that the only way to accomplish their goals of safety and acquiring their lands is bloodshed, which they are willing to indulge in.
