Shub, DJ Kookum and Handsome Tiger tell us what makes their mixes for National Indigenous History Month.

For nearly 20 years, June has marked National Indigenous History Month. What started as a grassroots letter campaign in Regina is now a country-wide celebration of First Nations, Inuit and Métis people. And what better way to celebrate than a dance party? To honour the month, CBC Music radio show Reclaimed, hosted by Jarrett Martineau, asked a handful of Indigenous artists to create a DJ dance party to celebrate the vibrancy and diversity of Indigenous cultures across Turtle Island. Shub, DJ Kookum and Handsome Tiger have each created hour-long mixes that will showcase the sounds and artists they want highlighted during this special time. “We've gotten through so many years of not being able to show our culture and be proud of it, and I think now, especially these days, it’s very, very important to people to express their culture, whether it's through the arts, whether it's through food, whether it's through music, or storytelling," said Shub, when asked about the importance of celebrating this time of year. Below, get to know the DJs behind these Indigenous History Month mixes, why they chose what they chose, and check back each week in June to listen to a new mix on demand.
