North American Indians sing, using the voice as a percussion instrument along with drums and rattles, and their use of their native language in this context is in making nonsense syllables. These are non-lexical (have no vocabulary equivalent), and meaningless, and are called vocables.

What instruments were invented in America?
The only instrument invented in America by an American is the banjo. I saw this on the Armed Forces Network (AFN) when I lived in Japan and Germany. It is credited to Joel Sweeney who created it in 1831. He got the idea from a sinilar instrument played by slaves. It is recognized as the only original American instrument. Check out this fantastic artilce that covers the banjo's history. http://www.forgottenwisdom.com/banjoorchestra/history.html Jason Abraham

I believe the Banjo was brought by the African slaves. Originally it was made of a gourd and a wooden stick.
Is the last name walker a typical name for an American Indian?
Yes, it is. If you check the top 1000 Indian surnames, Walker is definitely included. The Walker surname is usually said to be Scottish or Irish. Long before Europeans invaded America, many tribes, in their own language, included "Walker" as part of their name i.e. Firewalker; Skywalker; etc. Also, many Native American languages use the syllables "wau" and "quah" frequently, as well as very similar sounding syllables. These syllables mean different things in different Native American languages. My "Walker" surname is in no way related to Scottish or Irish ancestry. Each "Walker" just has to do the research, if the information is available, and figure out how their ancestors came by their surname.
