2013 Native American Music Awards

By Sherrill FulghumActor Kevin Costner hosted a program called "500 Nations" that documented the many Native nations that inhabit North America. On May 10 the Native American Music Awards honoured Native musicians from many of those Nations for their contributions to the world of music.

The NAMAs held their 14th annual Awards gala at the Seneca Niagara Events Center in Niagara Falls, New York. This marked the sixth consecutive year that the Seneca Nation hosted the event.

Set to be held last November, the NAMA's were delayed after Hurricane Sandy destroyed the NAMA headquarters in New York City.

The sold out event was hosted by Canadian comedian Don Kelly.14th Annual Native American Music Awards WinnersARTIST OF THE YEAR
