WATHÉČA RADIO W/ JUSTIS BROKENROPE

Justis Brokenrope (Sičháŋǧu Lakȟóta) is a musician and educator currently residing in Bdé Óta Othúŋwe, Mní Sóta (Minneapolis, Minnesota). Wathéča Radio is an offshoot of Wathéča Records, a label and archival project focused on North American indigenous artists who were often overlooked in the canons of rock, folk, and country music. Brokenrope hosts his radio shows completely in Dakhóta, the eastern dialect of the Očhéthi Šakówiŋ (the seven Lakota and Dakota tribal nations), and the original language of the land he presently resides on. Anáǧoptaŋ po!

From the host: "This episode is dedicated to my dad, Godfrey John Broken Rope, the man who taught me to love rocknroll and to love being ndn. He would've turned 63 years old this past week. Happy Birthday Até."
