"Inventive, adventurous and just plain burns." - Stuart Derdyn, Vancouver Province
Spanning diverse works from the likes of Tom Petty, Neil Young and Tracy Chapman, Art's latest CD melds half a century of popular music with Cree, an ancient tribal language, to create something quite rare and refreshing.
"His cover of the Beatles Rain is a killer while two Hank Williams standards sound like Cree classics."
Tom Hawthorne - Globe & Mail
With Siskabush Tales the one time chief leaps squarely into the country rock territory with an album that is sure to win over fans of Americana and alt-country. The arrangements are equal parts Blue Rodeo and Fred Eaglesmith; the deep, jagged and emotive vocals at times recall fellow West Coast songsmith Wykham Porteous, and Napoleon’s versatility as a songwriter could be likened to that of Buffy Saint-Marie.
“A potent distillation of First Nations rhythms and chants with that high lonesome northern Canadian country/folk sound.”
— Stuart Derdyn, the Province, Vancouver
Described by Monday Magazine as “good music for both cowboys and Indians”, Napoleon’s second CD is available through Pacific Music. Guests on the bilingual disc include Sandy Scofield and Marty Jones on harmony vocals, fiddler Calvin Cairns (Triska), Frank Tobin (Spirit of the West) and blues troubadour Ken Hamm.
Miyoskamin has been nominated for several Canadian and international music awards and was one of the top played albums on the CBC Galaxy Folk/Roots channel in 2006.

Môcikan - 'Songs for Learning Cree' is a fun collection of studio and field recordings to support the learning of the Nihiyaw (Cree) language 'Y' dialect, spoken throughout Western Canada and Northern Montana. Included in this diverse audio collage are language lessons, stories, community field recordings and sing-along songs for the young at heart performed by Art Napoleon and his friends and family. This rare CD was nominated for Best Children's Recording at the 2008 Canadian Folk Music Awards.
Art’s first full-length CD is a blend of country and rock influenced roots music that incorporates tribal chants and rhythms. Napoleon experimented with a full band sound using only one other primary musician. It was recorded in the dead of winter at Moberly Sound Studio, a tiny one room shack in remote Northern BC.
Listeners who appreciate the soulful folk-roots music of Bill Miller or the earthy sounds of Kashtin will like this recording from the trap line.
