Nimkii and the Niniis

Nimkii and the Niniis are a Canadian First Nations musical group from Wiikwemkoong, Ontario,[1] whose debut EP Nang Giizhigoong was a Juno Award nominee for Traditional Indigenous Artist of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2022.[2]

The band, led by Nimkii Osawamick, performed traditional Anishinabek drumming and choral singing on Nang Giizhigoong,[3] although Osawamick has communicated an ambition to blend traditional indigenous music with contemporary pop styles in the future.[1]
