scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents
content: The majority of this material is musical transcriptions of native songs and ceremonies. In many cases Fletcher and La Flesche did not label the tribe or otherwise identify the sheet music. Those items not clearly related to any publications have simply been labeled as sheet music.

The Omaha and Osage tribes are most fully represented in this subseries, although a few transcriptions of other tribes (Nez Perce, Ponca, Winnebago, etc.) are included. 

Fletcher acquired J. C. Fillmore and Franz Boas' musical transcriptions of non-Native American peoples from the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893. This material is located at the end of the subseries. Many composers created popular adaptations of Native American music; Fletcher's collection of these materials is located at the end of this subseries.
