Check out this documentary called "SOUSA ON THE REZ: Marching to the Beat of a Different Drum." It is a half-hour documentary that looks at the vibrant but little-known tradition of brass band music in Indian Country. The phrase “Native American music” may not suggest tubas and trumpets, but march music has been a part of Native culture for over a century.

Many were first exposed to this music at boarding schools, where the regimented discipline of marching bands was a key component of the program of forced assimilation. Nevertheless, many Native Americans discovered a love of, and talent for, these genres of music and made them their own.

This film profiles two contemporary Indian community bands: the Iroquois Indian Band of upstate New York and the Fort Mojave Tribal Band of Needles, California. The documentary traces the origins of these groups to their founding over a century ago and uncovers a secret history of the 20th century, when "all Indian bands" toured the US and abroad.
