Though the origin of the Native American flute is shrouded in mystery, flutes were common to Native American nations long before Europeans arrived in North America. The flute was played by both men and women in various activities, from spring fertility rites, to courting rituals, to simple pastime entertainment, but the instrument is best remembered today as a "love flute" for its use by men to court women in some early cultures.

Unlike the ancient flutes, crafted and tuned uniquely by the crafter, WindPoem flutes are crafted in standard pentatonic scale. The Native American Flute: Myth, History, Craft, a comprehensive book by C.S. Fuqua and available for order through FluteFlights.com, offers a detailed account of the Native American flute's history and includes complete instructions for crafting both ancient and modern versions of the flute.

Windpoem Flutes cover, ebook The Native American Flute, custom bamboo and pvc Native American flutes by Chris FuquaPublished by Awe-Struck Books, The Native American Flute: Myth, History, Craft separates flute myth from flute fact to provide a better understanding of the Native American flute’s true place and function in history and in today’s culture, detailing the flute's development and use by both women and men, exploring aspects that have become obscured by the false contention that the instrument is and has always been solely a courting tool. The book’s final section provides detailed instruction on crafting both the ancient, end-blown native flute and the modern native flute.
