In Dead Poet's Society, what is the significance of Mr. Keating whistling the 1812 overture? What is the significance of an Indian Cave as the meeting spot for the club?

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help forum. Although this film received a harsh review, I personally liked it!
Wikepedia has to say:
Tchaikovsky's 1812 is often alluded to in other artistic creations, especially where conflict is an important theme. Examples include:
• In the film Dead Poets Society (1989) the patriotic cannon tune is whistled by a free-thinking teacher as he strolls the grounds of a tradition-bound school.
Just listen to the music. Isn't it stirring?
As for Indian Caves, they have to do with history and folklore.
