Wathéča Records
Sičháŋǧu Lakȟóta owned and operated archival project based out of Mní Sóta. All music on this channel focuses on artists and bands with members of indigenous descent from north and central "America." Members' tribes will be listed in the title when known. All the albums have been ripped from original vinyl/tape/8track and digitized by myself or have had the recordings donated to me by someone else.
The aim for this project is to allow for these underrepresented artists to have the music heard by a wider audience, ideally family members of the artists and other individuals from their respective tribes.
Odówaŋ kiŋ dená mitháwa šni do.
These recordings are not mine. They belong to the individuals on the records and to the families of those who have journeyed on. If any artist or family requests that the music be taken down, or any other general questions, please feel free to contact me.
Follow @watheca.records on IG for more indigenous rock, country, and folk.
