Edward MacDowell, the first native-born American to achieve distinction as a composer, was keenly interested in the Red Indian music, and in this, the last of his published works, he introduces several of their traditional melodies. The Suite is in five movements which MacDowell calls:-
1. Legend; 2. Love Song; 3. In War Time; 4. Dirge; 5. Village Festival
