	Native American music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The music of the Pima and Tohono O'odham is intermediary between the Plains-Pueblo and the California-Yuman music areas, with melodic movement of the Yuman, though including the Rise, and the form and rhythm of the Pueblo.
		This area's music is characterized by extreme vocal tension, pulsation, melodic preference for perfect fourths and a range averring a tenth, rhythmic complexity, and increased frequence of Tetratonic scales.
		Music of the Great Basin is simple, discrete and ornate, characterized by short melodies with a range smaller than an Octave, moderately-blended Monophony, relaxed and open vocals and, most uniquely, paired-phrase structure, in which a melodic phrases, repeated twice, is alternated with one to two additional phrases.

	Iroquois Indian Dreamwork
		In past centuries, the Iroquois indians of the Great Lakes considered dreams to be a guide to their lives, to dictate their choices in regard to fishing, hunting, war, dancing, marriage and other significant life events.
		According to the Iroquois, to ignore dreams was to court illness, madness and disaster by opposing the messages of the god within.
		The dreamwork of the Iroquois was not only an early precursor of the dreamwork and analysis of Freud and Jung; it is very similar to the approach to dream interpretation used today by many psychologists trained in Freudian, Jungian and gestalt dream techniques.

	Littleflowers Medicinal Plants - Iroquois Books and Music
		This book relates Iroquois cosmology to cultural themes by showing the inherent spiritual power of plants and how the Iroquois traditionally have used and continue to use plants as remedies.
		He offers a penetrating examination of seventeenth-century Iroquoian attitudes toward foreign policy and warfare, contending that the Iroquois fought New France not primarily to secure their position in a new market economy but for reasons that traditionally fueled native warfare: to replenish their populations, safeguard hunting territories, protect their homes, gain honor, and seek revenge.
		Most intriguing is Dennis's suggestion that French-Iroquois hostilities stemmed from the French failure to understand that Iroquois overtures of peace were predicated on the sincere desire to adopt, literally, the French as relatives.

	Sisters: Oneida Iroquois Hymns by Masie Shenandoah CD
		The tragic history of the our nation's first people after the invasion of a powerful industrial culture doesn't lose any of its pathos here, yet in these hymns, so sensitively performed, there is spiritual power that would suggest there is ground on which reconciliation can take place.
		Musically speaking, the melody, rhythm and harmony of these traditional Christian hymns are altered very little.
		However, even as pure music, these recordings are of great value and should be enjoyed and appreciated by all.
