IAMF will showcase engaging Indigenous performers from across the U.S. and Canada, including Champion Hoop Dancers of the Southwest, the Aztec Cultural Experience, the Bearhead Sisters, Bird Singing and Dancing by the River, the Ahfachkee School band, AntioneX, Mista Chief, Tatanka Means, Carradine Billie, James Billie, and co-headliners Blaine Bailey and Tia Wood on Friday. Other musical performers include Ricky Valido on Thursday and Neal McCoy headlining Saturday evening.
Thursday evening will close out with Distant Thunder: A New Native Musical in Concert, written by Shaun Taylor-Corbett from the Blackfeet community, his mother Lynne Taylor-Corbett, and Chris Wiseman, is a hit Native-pop Broadway musical, which premiered in New York City Off-Broadway in 2024.
The show offers a beautiful window into the life of a Native community through Darrell Waters, a brash young attorney, who returns home to broker a deal between a large energy company and the Blackfeet Nation. In the process, he is forced to confront his reclusive father about their painful past. Through his childhood sweetheart, Dorothy Dark Eyes, he rediscovers his identity and feels his perspective shift: his clever business deal will destroy her language school, further erode Blackfeet culture and taint their land. Darrell must grapple with the paradigm of being Native American in America.
