STRONG, RESILIENT, INDIGENOUS, MUSIC
Indigenous Music is launching a special collaboration with Mohawk woman owned clothing company Reclaim Your Power for a social media campaign to amplify and inspire Indigenous music makers.
Running across the Reclaim Your Power and Indigenous Music Instagram and Facebook platforms August 27 through September 2, the campaign aims to encourage folks from coast to coast to coast to share what makes them strong, resilient, and Indigenous through personal storytelling, promoting music, and community-building.
