Anthrax

Indians is a popularly known song by Anthrax. This pays ode to the mistreated Native Americans during Colonial America when European settlers took over their land.

Lead singer Joey Belladonna is also part Native American:

That is true, my mum is part Native American, from the Canadian side of it (Iroquois), but I never talk to my mum about it. The rest of me is Italian American. I think it is really neat to be honest.

-Joey Belladonna

When I first got in the band. Charlie [Benante] used to call me Indian Joe. He was just fucking around with me, you know. And then, Scott figured we should write a song about it, you know, it’s something to bring attention too, and it’d be cool to write about, plus it would give us something to wear on stage.
