Answer to Question 1

 Tribal styles and genres include all those musical practices that are unique to a particular ethnolinguistic community or group of communities. For example, Navajo music or Ojibwa music. Tribal styles are often described by Native people and non-Natives as being more traditional.
 Intertribal styles describe the musical genres and practices that are widely dispersed and shared among a number of different Native groups and communities across North America. For example, powwow music or Ghost Dance music. There also are several regional or tribally defined substyles.

Answer to Question 2

 Also known as Indians or, in Canada, First Nations peoples
 There are hundreds of different tribal groups and communities across North America
 There are over 500 different federally recognized tribes in the U.S. and over 600 in Canada
 They are distinct cultural and political entities
 Numerous treaties with federal governments guarantee special rights and privileges and, in certain cases, a degree of political and cultural sovereignty to Native peoples
 Native Americans are driven by a desire to live their lives as Native Americans, which includes speaking their own indigenous language, learning about their tribal histories in the schools, and the freedom to cultivate the cultural and religious traditions of their ancestors.
