It actually is, it has become part of our evolving culture since we adopted the fiddle from the Scottish. My grandfather playes it, and his grandfather played it, and our people dance to its music. So yeah, it is very much part of our culture now. You may not agree, but take hunting for example; We never used guns before the Europeans came, but we adopted the musket, now today we hunt with the rifle. Cultures always evolve.
