The CW-EH Team put together a collection of International Indigenous songs to power the paddlers on their journey. The playlist is all genres, all nations, and all deadly.
We do our best to ensure indigenous authenticity, but if you see someone on this playlist who shouldn’t be, shoot us a message.
We have a few other playlists published for your listening pleasure, and we are streaming 24/7 here.
