Wakȟaŋtȟáŋhaŋ Hótȟaŋiŋpe - Lakota Spiritual - "From Above they are making their voices heard"

Powerful performance by a very talented group of young men and women. 2022 TMEA All-State TTBB Choir directed by Gary Packwood.
Please learn and treat these songs with respect. In traditional circles this song is still used, though rarely, for calling the spirits. Regardless of its traditional purpose and use, these songs will disappear if nobody writes them down and learns them. As students of music, we never stop learning and it is our responsibility to preserve and learn the songs that define our collective humanity. *** I do not expect all my relatives to understand what I am doing with traditional song, but this is part of my Wówaŋyaŋke and I must live it through to honor the Tȟuŋkášila that gave me these beautiful dreams and sounds ***
