 Reggae also received its own category, after years of being included under banners such as "world beat" or mixed with calypso.A new category for aboriginal music was also introduced and was awarded by Robbie Robertson.The award faced controversy after nominee Sazacha Red Sky was accused of cultural appropriation by Leonard George son of Chief Dan George, the alleged writer of the song that has since been registered as Public Domain, because she was not personally a member of the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation and according to Leonard George did not have the right to record it under their cultural traditions.
