Native American Music Award Review Part II
Good morning and Happy Weekend!
Today we continue to review the nominees for the 2022 Native American Music Awards Program. I hope this music inspires you to participate in the voting process. Over the past two weeks, I have fallen in love with the music and the singer/song writers of the various styles. I hope you find your favorites right from last week’s and this week’s shows.
News Bulletin:
I continue to look for people interested in learning how to produce and host InterTribal. Before I was looking for those from the Virginia indigenous communities, but now I am opening this call to those who are allies or members of non-local indigenous communities (blood quantum will not play a role here). If you are interested, please write me at katie.tallfeathers@wrir.org. I only ask that you have a sincere interest in promoting the indigenous voice and willing to commit to a few years of hosting. I am actually looking for two or three people.
Many Blessings and Walk in Peace,
Tall Feathers
