I was just sitting here thinking about the lyrics to Paul Revere and the Raiders Cherokee Nation and I got to the part where they say "took away our way of life, the tomahawk and the Bowie knife" and I thought, wait, how was the Bowie knife commonly used amongst the native Americans? 39 years old and I never once before now stopped to question the history of the Bowie knife having been ripped from the hands of native American tribes...

My father married a pure Cherokee
My mother's people were ashamed of me
The indians said that I was white by law
The White Man always called me "Indian Squaw"
Half-breed, that's all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word
Half-breed, she's no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born
We never settled, went from town to town
When you're not welcome you don't hang around
The other children always laughed at me
"Give her a feather, she's a Cherokee"
Half-breed, that's all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word
Half-breed, she's no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born
We weren't accepted and I felt ashamed
Nineteen I left them, tell me who's to blame
My life since then has been from man to man
But I can't run away from what I am
Half-breed, that's all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word
Half-breed, she's no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born
Half-breed, that's all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word
Half-breed, she's no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born

I like young hot women's wit' AIR CONDITIONED G.A.P.'s
Between there legs...that daylight and air keep those shaven poooosayyysss f.r.e.s.h...

T.W. enjoys a good fatty chick with no daylight gap..he loves to hear denim rubbing together in-between fat chicks thighs and then sniffs the air for sweaty gash wafting from canal barges whilst he sails by them...

Don't quote me, but what I recall is the Bowie knife was created for Jim Bowie. The exact original maker is debatable. Design varied pretty widely and was altered over the years.

Believe there is a variant known as the Cherokee Bowie and is falls within the general range of the "traditional" Bowie stylrs, but also believe that was named retroactively once the JB legends gained popularity

for what it's worth, the actual lyrics are "the tomahawk and the bow and knife"...

I also used to think the Marshall Tucker Band song Heard It In A Love Song was actually saying Purty Little Love Song... I really like that song too... probably missung those lyrics dozens of times in front of people and never been corrected...
