Music has been important to Native American culture for their entire existence. The Native American people use music for dancing, playing games, ceremonies, retelling history, and more. This song, "Grandpa's Teachings," sung by Jay Begaye is a traditional Navajo song. It is used for prayer and honor. There are no instruments, and his beautiful vocals give the song a somber and beautiful sound.
