Probably very different ... the Inuit are a much later arrival (about 1000 AD) than Native Americans.

There's also a wide variety of Native American traditional music, usually featuring singing, rattles, and drums. Plus Inuit, who have (among other things) "throat singing" which is also known in Siberia:

I watched but I will have to listen to it later when I have a headset but I wonder how different southwest Indian music is from Inuit such as the Hopi. The Hopi were sedentary and not nomadic like the Inuit so maybe that would also add to the difference. The Hopi reservation is not far from me and I am interested in learning more about their fascinating culture; dance, music, art etc

Well ... here we've got Newfoundland folk music, mainly ballads, jigs, sea shanties etc. Instruments can be used, but the only instruments that are really crucial are the vocal chords. It's similar to certain forms of folk music found in the US and British Isles.

Example:

We also have French Canadian folk, which is different:

Most traditional music we have is a variation on something you can find somewhere else; theres nothing we have that's truly unique to Canada alone, except in the sense that a different spin gets put on some things here. Purely by coincidence, the French, Newfoundland, and Inuit traditional musics are all very vocal with instruments playing a lesser role or no role at all.

Off hand, I think the only thing we have that is truly Americana is jazz, blues and Blue grass music.

Greek music would be the closet for me so I will have to search and add this later. Now that I live in Arizona I will explore some of the Native American music which I enjoy. I found, online, a Native American music station. The music varied from traditional to contemporary music. I also heard a native American version of rap and it was as bad, to me, as the Greek version- I do not like rap.

I can post later whatever I glean from my studies of native American cultures later. There are some many tribes here and they all have different music and traditions.
