How many Indigenous artists can you name? We bet you could easily improve that number during our next #Indigenoushistorychallenge! There is such a rich variety of Indigenous music out there from the Metis fiddle to hip-hop to Inuit throat singing. Their music holds history, story-telling, and resilience. Take some time today to check out some Indigenous artists. Whether you're in the mood for some classic tunes or something more modern, you'll discover a world of music that deserves space on your playlists. We recommend "MNBC's NIPD 2020 playlist" on Spotify or Apple Music's "National Indigenous People's Day" playlist as a place to start. Share the music you love with us using the #Indigenoushistorychallenge hashtag and encourage your friends to check out these artists as well!
