With that in mind, the editors of \u003ci\u003eIndigenous Pop\u003c\/i\u003e showcase the contributions of American Indian musicians to popular forms of music, including jazz, blues, country-western, rock and roll, reggae, punk, and hip hop. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From Joe Shunatona and the United States Indian Reservation Orchestra to Jim Pepper, from Buffy Saint-Marie to Robbie Robertson, from Joy Harjo to Lila Downs, \u003ci\u003eIndigenous Pop \u003c\/i\u003evividly addresses the importance of Native musicians and popular musical genres, establishing their origins and discussing what they represent. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Arranged both chronologically and according to popular generic forms, the book gives Indigenous pop a broad new meaning. In addition to examining the transitive influences of popular music on Indigenous expressive forms, the contributors also show ways that various genres have been shaped by what some have called the \"Red Roots\" of American-originated musical styles. This recognition of mutual influence extends into the ways of understanding how music provides methodologies for living and survival. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Each in-depth essay in the volume zeros in on a single genre and in so doing exposes the extraordinary whole of Native music. This book showcases the range of musical genres to which Native musicians have contributed and the unique ways in which their engagement advances the struggle for justice and continues age-old traditions of creative expression.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJeff Berglund is a professor of English at Northern Arizona University.
