In this part of the unit, I aim to introduce you to a wealth of music that perhaps you have never heard or knew about before! This is a selection of music from various Indigenous, First Nations, and Inuit artists. In my unit plan, I cover the below artists and resources in lessons 3, 4, and 7 of my unit plan.
