Singer Tanya Tagaq was the 2015 recipient of the award for her album Animism .
The Juno Award for Indigenous Music Album of the Year is an annual award presented by the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences for the best album by a Canadian aboriginal person . It was formerly known as Best Music of Aboriginal Canada Recording (1994–2002), Aboriginal Recording of the Year (2003–2009), and Aboriginal Album of the Year (2010–2016).[ 1]
The award faced controversy in its inaugural year, after nominee Sazacha Red Sky was accused of cultural appropriation .[ 2] According to the surviving children of Chief Dan George , the writer of the song she had been nominated for, she was not personally a member of the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation and according to the George family did not have the right to record it under their cultural traditions.[ 2] George's son Leonard sought a legal injunction to prevent the award from being presented at the Juno Awards ceremony at all,[ 3] and a final compromise revising Red Sky's nomination to reflect the album instead of the song was announced on the morning of the ceremony.[ 4]
