Úvod do indiánskej hudby v Spojených štátoch amerických
An Introduction to Indigenous Music in the United States of America

Summary/Abstract: An important part of American musical history involves the Indigenous and their music and traditions. Although we do have some historical perspectives, they can be difficult to document because of the traditions being passed on by word of mouth, by song, and also because of secrecy involving particular rituals. Writings of some Europeans who had interactions with the Indigenous cannot always be trusted either, as they can be very biased, especially in the area of music. It is also likely that these traditional Native American Indigenous people contributed greatly to the history of music in the United States with the greatest influence coming from the Cherokee and Navajo tribes. In this article, we will eamine through various tribes traditions of the Indigenous in music. Through their narratives and song, some of the interactions between regions can be traced. In this paper we discuss the musical manifestations of these tribes.
