(22,919 posts)It's a masterpiece. If you aren't familiar with it by all means check it out. Here is the opening of the write up about it in Wiki:
"Music for The Native Americans is a 1994 album by Robbie Robertson, compiling music written by Robertson and other colleagues (billed as the Red Road Ensemble) for the television documentary film The Native Americans.[3] The album was Robertson's first foray into writing music specifically inspired by his Mohawk heritage. Robertson brought in his son Sebastian Robertson to handle the drums on "Golden Feather", "Skinwalker", "It Is a Good Day to Die" and "Words of Fire, Deeds of Blood". His daughter Delphine Robertson sings backing vocals on "Coyote Dance".

We owe so much to Robbie.
Here is a live version of "Golden Feather". It contains one of my favorite lyric of all time:
When you find what's worth keeping
With a breath of kindness
Blow the rest away
