Native American Music

My significant other's father just bought a wooden "flute" which looks just like one of those recorders they used to make us play in grade school. Anyway, he's just nuts about this thing and keeps calling it his "Indian flute." He's interested in finding some Native American music that incorporates woodwind instrumnets. Do you have any leads? Thanks.

Pretty good flute, chanting and drumming.
Artist is Navajo-Apache.

Also, liked the Navajo flute in "Wind Talkers" movie.

If you want to hear how a tradional flute sounds pick up Canyon Trilogoies from Carlos Nakai. Awesome! Truly hauntong sounds and melodies, even an eagle bone whistle on one of the tracks.

Check out Inca Son @ Incason.com. I have seen them on several occasions at festivals and public events in Boston. They are wonderful, and always draw sizable audiences. I've picked up one of their cds at these events, but I think they're also available on-line.
