Native American Music

We have been studying Aerophones in class. We know that an aerophone is any instrument that uses air to produce a sound or tone. That means that a Native American flute is an Aerophone. Since it is made of wood, it is a Woodwind.

Here are some links to learn more about Native Americans, their music, and culture:

-Kids History - Famous Native Americans

-R Carlos Nakai - Official Website
 
-National Geographic - Native American Video

-Aerophones - Woodwind Instruments

-Wikipedia - Native American Flutes and Songs

-Making a Flute - Video

-Discovery Education - Hopi Butterfly Dance 

-Inkpataya - SongFile - Sing Along (3rd Grade Textbook)
Lakota:  Inkpataya nawazin, naya sine cicoze. Maya, Maya, laciya ku wa na.
English: Up the creek I stand and wave,  see I am alone. Come here, Come here, quickly to me.


Thank you to all the people who have made these websites and videos so that we may use them in our Music Room to learn more about our world and other cultures!
We Love Music!
