SOUSA ON THE REZ: NATIVE AMERICAN BRASS BANDS AND BEYOND Thursday, July 18 2 p.m. When American Indian children were first placed in residential boarding schools as part of government-mandated assimilation poli- cies, they were forced to learn a new language and adapt to a culture drastically different than their own. These students were also exposed to new music traditions, including the regimented discipline of marching bands. Erin Fehr (Yup’ik), archivist at the Sequoyah National Research Center at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, and John Trout- man, curator at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, will discuss the social, historical and artistic experiences of Native musicians influenced by the marching band experience. The lecture will be followed by a screening of “Sousa on the Res: March- ing to the Beat of a Different Drum,” which features the popularity of marching bands in Native communities.
This program is part of the Smithsonian’s Year of Music program series.
