The “Voice of the Lakota Nation” had a celebration last month. It was very interesting, and probably a little strange if you don’t live here. Lots of folks walking to the station. Lots of folks riding their horses to the station – in really cold windy wet February weather. But that’s what Oglala’s do – they offer sacrifices for the things they love. It’s pretty inspiring.

I've been working on our original website Oyate Ta Olowan.We've been working on adding digital downloads to the site, but it's still a challenge. Oyate is a public radio series that we did on traditional Native American music. We did 52 half hour shows and traveled over 100,000 miles collecting music from all over the Americas. It was a while ago, but people still seem to love it, so we keep offering the shows for sale. It's all a part of our little press Many Kites Press. Life is so amazing, and so full, but we keep on trucking. I hope things are going well for all of you, and that continue to create wonderful things. Later, Milt Lee
Bigfoot? I thought Bigfoot was a beer put out by Sierra Nevada. Milt, thanks for all the SIAB input. Someday it won’t be way over my head.
What a beautiful story and a beautiful website.
Thank you so much for sharing your work and introducing us to such interesting people.
The celebration of Kili radio has always been an upmost and greatest event for the lakota. Thank you for sharing the event. Chief Big Foot was a great leader. And my father Chubbs is a great lakota singer.
