After traveling to South Dakota and buying the book, Love Flute by Paul Goble, I've decided to share with you a little bit of history and folklore surrounding the Native American flute.
📚 If you have the chance, you can listen to the book being read aloud by Uŋčí youtube.com/watch?v=qGWnjJfc6v0
▶️ Go check out a short video from Will Crawford who is part of the Dakota people explaining the love flute youtu.be/OMoqnZnOLBA

"In the Indian culture, when a young man fell in love with a woman, he went through certain procedures. First, he would go to her father with gifts, as was the traditional way. If the father approved of the young man and consented to give his daughter to him, the young brave would start his courtship. He would use his flute to play courting songs while the woman was inside her teepee. Often this would go on all night. Each brave had his own song that he would play for a woman, and it was usually a special song played only for her. If the woman liked the young man, she would prepare a special blend of tea. We call this blend our Indian Love Tea. She would then come out of her teepee to the sound of the music and offer the young brave a cup of tea, a sign of mutual admiration."

"In love with a beautiful girl, but too shy to tell her, a young man leaves his camp in frustration. One night he receives mystical visitors who offer him a special gift -- a love flute. A gift from the birds and animals, its tells the girl of his love where words have failed."
