#12 of a collection, on Native American Flute replicas from Indigenous flute makers of the past and present. This flute is a more modern Native flute made by a member of the Navajo Nation, Donald "Duck" Coolidge. 

This ballad from the 1700s came by way of a gentleman, who had resided several years in America amongst the tribe or nation called the Cherokees, who sang a wild air, for which he assured that it was customary for those people to chant with a barbarous jargon, implying contempt for their enemies in the moments of torture and death. The melody and mood of this piece is in complete opposition to what is being sung to the enemies of the Cherokee people; in their face. A chant/rant that makes fun of and insults the captors even as one is dying.
