Of course they share a lot of things. Every single tribe, however, is different. Each has its own language, music, and customs. And as a musician I can tell you that the music of the indigenous people of Brazil or Peru has substantive differences to the Senecas. That is why it's hard to say "Native American" influence. It can mean a hundred things. The reason we have Cuban music is (partly) the blend of African traditions and the native people of that land. same thing in Alabama. Anyway a lot of this is semantics. ted's point is an interesting one. My point is minor in the large scheme.
