Please, be aware, just as European countries have unique sub cultures, the indigenous tribes of North America (Sioux, Choctaw, Apache, Wappo, etc) have unique distinctions; and unique traditions.

I sincerely encourage you to contact the tribal council of the song/melody you intend to use. They are gracious and eager to educate.
