He also explores some of the contexts in which these genres are performed, including concerts, coffeehouses, dance competitions, and funerary wakes. He looks at how Manitoban aboriginal musicians engage with musical intimates and mass-mediated audiences; how they negotiate the possibilities mass mediation affords; and how, in doing so, they extend and elaborate indigenous sociability Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from home page (viewed on December 2, 2013) Subject Indians of North America -- Manitoba -- Music -- History and criticism Folk music -- Manitoba -- History and criticism Indians of North America -- Manitoba -- Social life and customs Music -- Social aspects -- Manitoba Folk music Indians of North America -- Music Indians of North America -- Social life and customs Music -- Social aspects Manitoba Genre/Form Criticism, interpretation, etc. Form Electronic book ISBN 9780199379859 0199379858
