What the artist hoped to accomplish?
The artist probably wanted to preserve a sample of what Native American music was like to share with later generations.
What it highlights.
This song seems to be part of a ritual. It is just about the same beat throughout the song, with the exception of a wind instrument partway through. The repetitive nature of the song makes me think of some kind of dance.
Part of the American story.
This is just as much a part of the American story as anything the Europeans did, maybe even more so. The history of American did not start with the Europeans. It streched back further than that.
