XIT is a Native American rock band that released two albums in the 1970s on the Motown label, and regrouped in the 1990s. They performed a 30th anniversary reunion concert and released a DVD, XIT: Without Reservation, in 2002. XIT was originally based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Members include founder and Native American Music Award winner Tom Bee, and Jim Boyd (also a Nammy winner). Members of Ulali performed with the group during its reunion.

"XIT" stands for "crossing of Indian Tribes", according to Tom Bee. [1] Their music often addresses themes of historic and contemporary Native American issues. Their initial recording, 1972's Plight of the Redman, is a concept album about the changes in Native American life since the arrival of Columbus.
