Even as conversations about race representation become more commonplace, there is one minority that is still massively underrepresented in contemporary American music. Oddly, it’s the original Americans themselves.

This discussion will highlight US-based Native American musicians that have built their own careers and identify networks that exist to assist the next generation of US-based indigenous creators.
