The National Indigenous Music Advisory:
Calling Indigenous Music Artists and Industry
The National Indigenous Music Advisory is reaching out to Indigenous music artists and industry to contribute to the development of an Indigenous Music Strategy, and the creation of a National Indigenous Music Office.

“As Indigenous music artists, and Indigenous music industry professionals, no one is better placed to provide valuable contributions and insights on the current realities, obstacles and opportunities in the “Canadian” Music Scene, as we build a National Indigenous Music Office,” explains Amanda Rheaume, award-winning Indigenous singer-songwriter, and National Indigenous Music Advisory member.

Three years ago, when Tobique First Nation musician Jeremy Dutcher accepted the Polaris Music Prize, an award recognizing the best Canadian album of the year, he declared: “Canada, you are in the midst of an Indigenous renaissance.”
The proof was all over the music scene. Dutcher’s win marked the fourth time in five years that a musician with Indigenous heritage including Inuk throat singer Tanya Tagaq and folk veteran Buffy Sainte-Marie had won the Polaris prize. Indigenous hip-hop outfits like A Tribe Called Red and Snotty Nose Rez Kids were stealing the show at music festivals across the country.
