Harmonics inspiring Native American jam

I'm super duper bored so I messed with my guitar tuning and started playing the harmonics. I could start to hear in my head a country western Indian type song. I don't really know what that means, it's just that songs about Indians all seem to have a certain feel and sound to them. Maybe when whoever is writing it comes up with a melody line and hums along and says
"You know what this song should be about?"
"Indians?"
"Yeah I was going to say that too! Weird."

It doesn't have to be about Indians, I'm just screwing around- but in spite of Chris's expressed verbal hatred for Indian songs, (which happens to be a very reputable argument, most songs about Indians are incredibly cheesy and tasteless personifications of the Hollywood Indian shedding a tear and going "Whoo who who who") I have found myself trying to write the perfect "Indian Song" for months now so Chris will one day say "I hate Indian songs" with an asterisk in his head for the one Indian song that is not necessarily an Indian song but reminds you of an Indian song and that one I will write.
And so far the only lyric that pooooped into my head was "There's a storm cloud on the way" because I was looking out the window when I said it, but for the sake of history, this song is from now on about the Indian warrior prince named Storm Cloud, and it will be about how he is on his way... somewhere.... TBA. Surely there was an Indian named Storm Cloud.
I'm just fucking around with harmonics tonight cause I'm bored and in a psychedelic mood.
