Welcome to Ancient Territories
a Place Where Spirit Takes Form

My name is John Stillwell and I am a maker of Native American style flutes.

The Native American style flute is also called the Love flute, Indian flute or American Indian flute.

Please relax and take a little time to look around my website. It is filled with useful information.

Here you will also find a selection of Native American Style Flutes for sale. They are available for immediate delivery.

Where Spirit Takes Form

By spirit I mean that power which the Native American peoples called the Great Spirit. It is that power that I strive to keep in my awareness and express in my craft as I make Native American style flutes for you. Every item that I make - whether a flute, a flute bag, a flute stand, a fetish or totem - is made with you, the Love flute player, in mind.
