Native Sounds Downtown with Elisapie
Friday, July 11, 8 PM
Bring your friends and family for a fun concert featuring Inuit artist Elisapie, who will be performing live in French, English, and her beloved mother tongue, Inuktitut at the National Museum of the American Indian. With unconditional love for her Inuit homeland, culture is entrenched in her work as storyteller, singer-songwriter, actor, and director. Elisapie was born and raised in Salluit, a small village in Nunavik, in northern Quebec, Canada.
Elisapie earned a Juno Award in the Contemporary Indigenous Artist of the Year category, as well as five awards at the 2024 ADISQ Gala. Her album Inuktitut, which covers ten classic rock and pop songs from a wide array of artists including Metallica, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Cyndi Lauper and more, all performed in the Inuktitut language, was nominated at the 2025 Juno Award for Best Album of the year and was awarded Best Adult Alternative Album of the year. An acclaimed documentarian, Elisapie is the creator of Le grand solstice, a musical and cultural celebration televised annually to mark National Indigenous Peoples Day. In 2024, the Canada Post recognized Elisapie with a Permanent™ stamp in their Indigenous Leaders series which honors the outstanding achievements and contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis leaders.
