Keith Secola & His Wild Band of Indians

Keith Secola & His Wild Band of Indians is a celebrated Native American rock ensemble led by the visionary Anishinaabe musician and songwriter Keith Secola. Hailing from the Great Lakes region, Secola has built a decades-long career weaving together rock, folk, and traditional Indigenous sounds into a powerful and uniquely authentic musical voice. Secola is perhaps best known for his iconic anthem "NDN Kars," a humorous yet deeply resonant song that has become an unofficial soundtrack for Native American communities across the continent. His music blends sharp wit with heartfelt storytelling, addressing themes of Indigenous identity, resilience, humor, and cultural pride in ways that connect broadly across audiences. Together with his Wild Band of Indians, Secola delivers high-energy live performances that are as celebratory as they are meaningful. The band's sound is expansive and electric, drawing from blues, rock, and Americana while remaining firmly rooted in Native experience and perspective. A respected voice in Indigenous music for over three decades, Keith Secola has earned numerous awards and widespread recognition, including the Nammy (Native American Music Award). His work stands as both a cultural touchstone and an invitation — to listen, to laugh, and to understand the richness of Native American life through song.
