Following in the footsteps of trailblazers like Buffy Sainte-Marie and Robbie Robertson, Indigenous musicians across North America are carving paths into mainstream consciousness, reclaiming their rightful place in contemporary culture. Working in every genre, this empowered, outspoken generation is channeling the colonial darkness and the resilience of their ancestors into a stirring vision of the future. A kaleidoscope of powerful Indigenous voices.
