Fletcher is a collection of narratives and musical pieces derived from the traditions of Native American tribes, primarily focusing on the Omaha and Pawnee cultures.

The overarching theme of the book delves into the significant relationship between music and the cultural practices of Native Americans, showcasing how songs are intertwined with rituals, emotions, and social gatherings. The content of the book comprises a series of stories accompanied by traditional songs that illustrate various aspects of Native American life, such as love, warfare, spirituality, and community. Each story is unique, drawing upon historical events, ceremonial practices, and personal experiences of individuals within the tribes. The book not only highlights the richness of Native American oral traditions but also serves as a testament to their connection to the natural world and the spiritual realms.
