More than powwow drums and wooden flutes, Indigenous influences are at the heart of America’s music. This ear-opening class introduces groundbreaking artists building on the diversity and power of Indigenous music in North America. The author of Heartbeat, Warble, and the Electric Powwow (2016) and Rise Up! (2023) uses research-based stories, songs, personal interviews, and archival audio and video to survey more than 500 years of history, spirituality and musical evolution.
