Indigenous Canada

This room is a tribute to the voices, songs, and stories of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis artists from across Canada. Indigenous Canada features a wide range of music—from traditional drumming, powwow songs, and Inuit throat singing to folk, rock, hip-hop, and genre-defying contemporary works. These recordings honour cultural heritage, preserve language, and express the resilience and creativity of Indigenous communities. Powerful, rooted, and enduring—this is the sound of Indigenous Canada.
