Juno Award for Contemporary Indigenous Artist of the Year facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

The Juno Award for Contemporary Indigenous Artist of the Year is a special music award in Canada. It celebrates amazing music made by Indigenous Canadian artists. These artists create music in modern styles, like pop, rock, or hip-hop.

This award was first announced at the Juno Awards of 2021. The very first time it was given out was at the Juno Awards of 2022.

It is one of two awards for Indigenous artists. The other is the Traditional Indigenous Artist of the Year. That award honors music made in older, traditional styles.

Before 2022, there was only one award for all Indigenous artists. It was called the Indigenous Artist or Group of the Year. Now, contemporary and traditional artists each have their own award.
