Shaman's Call (From Earth Spirit)

This song was recorded by R. Carlos Nakai in order to showcase his Navajo-Ute heritage through the use of a traditional Indian instrument, the cedar flute. This song has a strong spiritual and peaceful vibe to it. This song seems to represent the spiritual nature of the indians. This song may have come from the artist's Navajo background. The Navajo indians were a spiritual tribe who believed in the ascendency of the dead's souls to an alternate universe. This song seems to represent a peaceful time in this tribe's history, probably before the arrival of Spanish conquistadors with their guns, religion, and diseases. This song represents, along with Tracks 1 and 2 the time before Europe involvement in the Americas. This is a large period of time and is an important part of the history of our country. This is just before the beginning of the European involvement and influences in America.
