This album is representative of the vast variety of American Indian music found across the United States and Canada. A complement to the book of the same name by John Bierhorst, this collection delineates the different regional musical styles in North America (including the Northwestern Coast, the Great Basin, the Plains, and the Eastern Woodlands) and explores the close relationship between music and culture.
