Can't ID a Song. . .Help, anyone?


There is one short bit of a song used that sounds Native American. A woman with a beautiful voice is singing although the words may be in a Native American language, I couldn't tell. Been trying to locate what this comes from but a search of all the credited music seems not to be it.

Anyone have any idea what this song is or what it comes from?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I know you got your reply.
But have you checked Youtube ? You will find videos of her there.

I could not trace all of the soundtrack tracks, but for me the music was more incidental and mostly not my sort of music, but overshadowed by the story.
