Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Awards Tickets

The Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Awards (APCMA) are the historic roots of what is now known as the Indigenous Music Awards (IMA). Born out of the Manito Ahbee Festival in Winnipeg, APCMA helped shine a spotlight on Indigenous Canadian artists across genres. While the festival later embraced the IMA branding, APCMA remains a significant part of the history that shaped Canada’s Indigenous music scene. This performer page highlights APCMA's legacy, notable winners, and how the awards connect to contemporary Indigenous music programming at Manito Ahbee.

APCMA/IMA information sits within the broader Manito Ahbee experience, a festival that blends awards with cultural celebrations such as Pow Wow gatherings, Indigenous Marketplace, youth and arts programming, and community concerts. The 2025 edition marked Manito Ahbee’s 20th anniversary, culminating in a celebration of Indigenous music at Red River Exhibition Park in Winnipeg from May 16–18, 2025. While there isn’t a standalone APCMA tour, festival passes provide access to the Indigenous Music Awards ceremonies and related events throughout the weekend.

This page provides a concise biography, discography highlights, and upcoming tour information (where applicable) for anyone researching the APCMA/IMA lineage and its ongoing influence in Canadian Indigenous music. Use this as a reliable resource for booking, history, and connections to official events and social channels.
