Cherokee Amazing Grace[edit]

@User:CorbieVreccan, @User:TulsaPoliticsFan, @User:Yuchitown Walela has a "Cherokee" version of Amazing Grace on their self-titled 1997 album. Snippets of the lyrics feature on the song "Undertaker" from CocoRosie's Grey Oceans. I have seen a number of claims online that this is a "traditional" Cherokee folk song and that it was sung on the Trail of Tears. I assume this is all New Age Pretendian pseudo-history, but I was wondering if anyone had sources about this song and its origins. Thank you.

It's just the European Christian hymn "Amazing Grace" with Cherokee lyrics. Here's a proper mention of that. And Mvskoke people sing it too. Yuchitown (talk) 02:48, 13 July 2023 (UTC)Yuchitown[reply]
