Aboriginal and other racially oppressed artists are underrepresented in mainstream North American media. Expose your students to talented musicians who they don't often hear on TV or the radio. Discuss why you don't often hear these voices in mainstream media...discuss why programs such as "Ab-Originals" exist...
"Ab-Originals is a weekly podcast of the hottest Aboriginal music in Canada. Four of the best-known musical hosts in Indian Country will bring you live concerts, urban and hip-hop music, top 10 chart artists, and all the rest of it in their musical podlatch."
