In determiNATION songs three native artists use voice, rhythms, samples and guitar riffs to cut through big 'P' politics to reveal a vibrant native music scene while exposing the realities and struggles in their communities. As resistance grows across Indian country, this film about music, art and politics pulls aboriginal stories from the back pages and puts them squarely at the front of the stage.
