The sweet, haunting sound of the flute has long been associated with Love and Healing among the people on Earth. The Sioux, Kiowa and Zuni were just a few tribes who played the flute during courting rituals, fertility rites and ceremonies like the Giveaway and Sundance. They spoke of the flute's sound resembling "the wind that breathes life into the heart."
