Music is one of the most powerful ways in which humans convey meaning. “Key Changes” explores the way in which Native Americans have been represented in music, have used music as a means of self-representation, and why it matters. Blending a short talk, music performance, and excerpts from the documentary Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked The World, “Key Changes” offers a window on the cultural production of Indigeneity and Indigenous cultural production.
