Rise Up! Indigenous Music in North America

More than powwow drums and wooden flutes, Indigenous music in North America intersects with rock, blues, jazz, reggae, hip-hop, and more!

Join author, percussionist, and music historian Craig Harris, M. Ed., as he presents a multimedia introduction to Indigenous music based on his newest book Rise Up! Indigenous Music in North America. Together, we will explore more than five hundred years of Indigenous history, religion, and cultural evolution with an insightful discussion on the hows-whys-and-whos, a video sampling of pacesetting artists, and a lively Q&A segment. Combining deep research with personal stories, Harris offers an eye-and-ear-opening look at the growth of Indigenous music, spirituality, and life.
