As well, the awards develop and promote the diversity of all Aboriginal music, celebrate the excellence of Aboriginal music, and recognise the unique vision and musical styles of Aboriginal Canadian musicians, which include traditional chanting and drumming.
Awards are offered in a number of categories, such as blues, folk, and rock.

Famous quotes containing the word canada:
“Though the words Canada East on the map stretch over many rivers and lakes and unexplored wildernesses, the actual Canada, which might be the colored portion of the map, is but a little clearing on the banks of the river, which one of those syllables would more than cover.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I see Canada as a country torn between a very northern, rather extraordinary, mystical spirit which it fears and its desire to present itself to the world as a Scotch banker.”
—Robertson Davies (b. 1913)
“I do not consider divorce an evil by any means. It is just as much a refuge for women married to brutal men as Canada was to the slaves of brutal masters.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
