The Native American Choral Series is a collection of music composed and/or arranged by Native American composers. Some pieces were sung by specific tribes during the Trail of Tears, while others are arrangements of traditional songs or original works by contemporary Native artists. Although Native American history is rich with stories of resilience and adaptability amid diversity, the use of Native languages has declined for generations. One goal of this series is to help keep these languages alive through song. Another goal is to highlight underrepresented Native American composers, providing them a platform to create and freely use their languages.

The aim is not only to share and preserve languages but also to elevate choral music. Most early Native music was not notated and passed down aurally from generation to generation; this series can serve as a curator of notated Native music, ensuring that it endures and is enjoyed by all.

Co-edited by Mary Young and James E. Green, this groundbreaking initiative celebrates and prioritizes the work of culture bearers with authentic connections to their communities.
