I'm an Irish American and this music moves me as much as any Irish flute or Scottish bagpipe. There is so much of value in so many cultures around us. If only we could all see the beauty in one another and appreciate it instead of always being on a course to destroy anything or anyone we don't understand at first glance. Why do human beings have to claim superiority over other human beings when we have so much wisdom to offer one another? If we could only open our hearts, minds, ears to others.

@BoruLass Well Said! I agree wholeheartedly!

@mastwrt we cant blame modern day ppls for wut theyre ancestors did, wut ingenceo1 said was unnecessary! yes we are all hurt that our way of life got destroyed, all we can do about it is keep our traditions alive! instead of blaming ppl for something they didnt take part in, lets do that instead and honour our ancestors way of life!

For some reason this makes me want to cry. Something about it speaks something I don't hear in words.

To every one of european decent: How do you feel knowing that your ansestor lead to the distruction of my ansestors life and culture or way of life. You can a say your sorry but like the earth you have left a scare in us that will never heal.

Question to Americans: What do you feel when you see natives? Do you ever feel guilt?, I know you cant apologise for what your ancestors did to the Natives but still...
