I first met the native flute on the Navajo nation in Shonto, Arizona. I remember I was a fresh faced student teacher. They’re coming from Indiana University. I drove from Indiana to Arizona all in one trip and spent the night right outside of Canyon de Chelly. The next morning I woke up and there was a market there next to the canyon and a younger guy was selling these flutes. As I always loved music, I thought it would be a really good way to learn more about the culture I was going to live wit
