Video Title:
Sousa on the Rez: Native American Brass Bands and Beyond
Description:
Native American jazz, classical, and popular musicians have experienced artistic and commercial success since well before the turn of the 20th century. Many were first exposed to this music at boarding schools, where the regimented discipline of marching bands was a key component of the program of forced assimilation. Nevertheless, many Native Americans discovered a love of, and talent for, these genres of music and made them their own. Erin Fehr (Yup'ik), archivist at the Sequoyah National Research Center at the University of Arkansas (Little Rock), and John Troutman, curator of American Music at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, will discuss the social, historical, and artistic experiences of Native American musicians from the early 1900s to today. Michael Pahn, head of Archives and Collections Digitization at the National Museum of the American Indian and Vice Chair of the Smithsonian Music Executive Committee, moderates the program. This program is funded as part of the Smithsonian Year of Music. It was webcast and recorded in the Rasmuson Theater of the National Museum of the American Indian on July 18, 2019.
