Members include founder and Native American Music Award winner Tom Bee,
(writer of lyrics on Plight of the Redman).
The original group were
A. Michael Martinez (singer and lead guitar on Plight),
Mac Suazo (narrator and bass on Plight),
Lee Herrerra (drums on Plight),

"XIT" stands for "crossing of Indian Tribes", according to Tom Bee.
Their music often addresses themes of historic and contemporary Native American issues.
Their initial recording, 1972's Plight of the Redman,

I wonder.
They were originally called "Lincoln Street Exit" and released one major label LP under that name. The fact is that the last three letters of the old name became the new one. Still it's a nice story.
Thanks for the post. I have "Plight of the Redman" in FLAC which I can post for you if you don't have it. I also have Entrance but only in mp3. This is my favourite of theirs. I'd love an upgrade.
@Fogo :
Have a nice listening!
