About Aboriginal Music Manitoba
Aboriginal Music Manitoba (AMM) is a non-profit organization that presents, promotes, and nurtures Indigenous music and culture to build audiences at the community level and beyond. We do this by producing an annual music festival; producing capacity development projects; shining a spotlight on the accomplishments of Indigenous music makers and industry professionals; and by building bridges between the Indigenous music community and our counterparts around the world.
AMM is governed by a nine‐person volunteer board, which includes chairperson Brett Huson, vice‐chairperson Sandra Seidle, secretary Kimberly Cleave, and directors Rhonda Head, Ivana Yellowback, Jennifer Duka, Brendan Dong, and Rheanna Merasty.
