It’s a two-part evening tonight: First up, aboriginal short films introduced and presented by Bird Runningwater, associate director of the Native American and Indigenous Programs at the 2009 Sundance International Film Festival.

He’ll be followed by a band that, as the promotional material says, “has pretty much won all the available music awards this country has to offer. Musical sensation Eagle & Hawk will rock out at the Chiefs’ House.”

If you’re not familiar with them, you really, really want to watch the video below. There are plenty more on YouTube, and on their Web site, here.
