Songs 1-3

Anon: Virgen Madre de Dios/SAVAE
Apache Indian Drums (Sedona)-American Indian Music
Shaman's Call-R. Carlos Nakai

They were probably just celebrating the beauty of their culture and their beliefs. The songs highlight the lives of the Native Americans before Europeans invited themselves to make homes in the Indians' territory.

The soil we claim as our own today was here long before it was "our's". The Native Americans thrived for many generations on this land and they shared it (sometimes unwillingly) with those who wanted to live and raise their families how they felt they should. The Indians are the beginning of the whole American story in the first place.
