American Indian musicians have been innovators in virtually all popular forms of music—jazz, blues, country-western, rock and roll, reggae, punk, and hip-hop. In fact, some of the United States’ most prominent musicians have been American Indians. Yet for too long their contributions have been invisible to the public. This book showcases the range of musical genres to which Native musicians have contributed and the unique ways in which their engagement advances the struggle for justice and continues age-old traditions of creative expression.
