Abstrakt:
Creating and playing flutes is a practice that dates back thousands of years in Native North America. While coming close to extin ction in the decades after 1900, a few old time players kept the tradition alive until younger gene rations of Natives could take it up and revitalize it. As part of this revitalization, however, the instrument was also recontextualized over the time period from about 1980–1995 as something for mass entertainment purposes, and as part of this process the very structure of the instrument changed in order to incorporate Western (European) concepts of intonation and timbre. This article traces those changes through a crucial period.
