Wathéča Records is a North American Indigenous music archival project founded by Sičháŋǧu Lakȟóta musician and educator Justis Brokenrope. Brokenrope seeks to ensure the preservation and accessibility of overlooked American Indian and First Nations artists within the histories of rock, folk, and country music. He is the host of Wathéča Radio on NTS and currently resides in Bdé Óta Othúŋwe, Mní Sóta (Minneapolis, Minnesota).
For this set, Brokenrope will play rock, folk, and country music by American Indian and First Nations artists from the 1950s-1980s. He’ll be spinning vinyl and tracks sourced from 8-track and cassette tapes.
