For those who are just beginning to explore Native American music, I thought it might be helpful to share a site that goes into the basics about the instruments used by the First Nations people, as well as a bit about the music itself:

One thing that's interesting about Native American music that the site above points out is that the drumming rhythm is usually different than the rhythm of the song itself.  Next time you hear a traditional Native American song, listen for this...it's something you might not have noticed before!
