For us at Native Pulse, it's Music and Entertainment—and what better way to showcase Native Talent than an Award Show. The Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Awards, which will air on Sunday, August 18th on Aboriginal Peoples Television Network, showcases top Aboriginal Artists from both Canada and the United States.
Similar to the Grammys, Artists are nominated for awards in several categories ranging from contemporary to traditional, rock to gospel, and everything in between. Voting is currently still open, and they've just extended the poll-closing date to July 26th!
To make your voting easier, below you'll find a list of the Artists, separated into the categories for which they are nominated...
