Attawapiskat’s Adrian Sutherland is nominated for Contemporary Indigenous Artist or Group of the Year at this weekend’s awards
Officials with the Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada (ITAC) are getting into the music business—sort of.
ITAC is sponsoring a pair of categories at this year’s JUNO Awards. A weeklong celebration of the Canadian music scene, JUNO Week, began on Monday (May 9) and continues until Sunday May 15 in Toronto.
The main awards ceremony will be held Sunday at Budweiser Stage.
In previous years, the JUNO Awards featured one category for Indigenous musicians, the Indigenous Artist or Group of the Year.
