In the 80s I met some Cherokee natives (not fullblood) who told me about their history. Ever since I have been wondering about this question: Is the tune of Amazing Grace originally Native American and composed for flute? Because what my Cherokee friends told me was that the militz that forced Natives on the Trail of tears had stolen this tune as they heard it played on flute and then combined it with their poem/hymn called Amazing Grace, which at that time had no tune. If this is true it should be known to the world so that people all over might know the origin of this worldwide common song- to honor the Cherokees and all Native Americans. To me it makes sense that this is true. The tune Circle of light is very similar, so to me this makes sense.
