You're probably looking for the song "Witchi Tai To" by the folk rock duo Brewer & Shipley. I submitted the lyrics on this site, and yes most are Native American. The song got a lot of radio play 'back in the day'. Their version is still my all time favorite. The song was originally written by Jim Pepper, Native American songwriter & jazz saxophonist (now deceased). There are several You Tube videos of the song by Brewer & Shipley, Mr. Pepper and other artists.
It is worth checking out the 'back story' of "Witchi Tai To" on the duo's website www.brewerandshipley.com and how they came by the song. Many would recognize their biggest hit from the early 70's, "One Toke Over The Line" but their talent goes way beyond that one song. I've always been a fan of their works.
