His mother was of Swedish descent, and his father's ancestry included Irish, German, and Cherokee roots. Val Kilmer passed from pneumonia on Tuesday night following years of health struggles and battling throat cancer.

His experience led to a lifetime of allyship and championing Native rights.

Johnny Cash's 1964 album 'Bitter Tears' went relatively ignored by radio stations and his record label, so he took matters into his own hands.

“In my music, I have sought to fuse these worlds, for I believe that an artist can get to the heart of a culture through new forms alien to that culture.” - Louis Ballard

Louis W. Ballard paved the way for a booming generation of artists. But his works have been too little performed and recorded.

Our Story

The Only National Awards Show Honoring The Best In Native American Music and Entertainment. Over 150 Advisory Members and 20,000 voting members and still going strong. The depth and breath of this year’s talent is among the best in our 21 year history (we launched our inaugural show in May of 1998). Our Awards program remains the biggest and best in the world for all Native American and World Indigenous music. No other Awards program can compare. Just take a look at the extensive list of nominees in all 33 categories!

Founded and incorporated in 1998, the Native American Music Association and The Native American Music Awards (NAMA) is the world's largest and only professional membership-based organization dedicated to music initiatives by Native North Americans and Indigenous Indians. The Native American Music Association was established in 1998 as a 501(c)(3) following the debut of the Native American Music Awards in order to promote greater cultural understanding of Native American music and culture Native American Music Awards ·

THE NATIVE AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS & ASSOCIATION were born out of a need to provide greater opportunity and recognition for traditional and contemporary Native American musicians . Our inaugural awards show was the first time a Native-owned casino featured an evening of Native American Talent. We were the first to nationally recognize both Link Wray & Jesse Ed Davis into a music Hall of Fame. Our national music archive has become the world's first & largest Native American music archive in the world. We successfully proposed the first new category for Native American music in the Grammys in 2000 which has since become a Regional Roots music category. Today, the Native American Music Association (NAMA) has grown to become the country’s leading source for preserving and promoting the songs of American Indians from all four directions.
