MARCH 1, 2001 Tom Bee, the Native music producer who won the first GRAMMY recognizing Native American music, told The Albuquerque Journal on Wednesday that everyone should "chill out" and not expect the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences to create additional categories honoring Indian artists. Bee also said he was the only one who first started the campaign to get Native music recognized by the Academy. He said other people are just trying to get on the bandwagon now. Only on Indianz.Com:
