Scott Prinzing talks about how many Montanans associate American Indian music with powwow drumming or the Native American flute. Indians have also contributed to American music in virtually every major genre of music, including traditions often associated with distinctly non-Indian ethnic groups like rap, reggae, and country western. This presentation looks at the history and development of Indian music from the traditional to the contemporary and explores a broad spectrum of American Indian music ranging from blues to folk, country to gospel, and heavy metal to hip-hop. The presentation is free and open to the public. Partial funding for the Speakers Bureau program is provided by a legislative grant from Montana's Cultural Trust and from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
