Description
These songs were recorded in the 1950's and 1960's by William K. Powers, who was adopted by Frank Afraid of His Horse and family. It is only now that he has decided to release them to the public. These recordings are intended to educate and preserve a part of Lakota songs and cultural history which otherwise would have been lost.
Singers: William Horn Cloud, Oliver and Edgar Red Cloud, Frank Afraid of His Horse, George Plenty Wolf, Dick Elk Boy, John and Ambrose Iron Rope, Hobert Two Crow, Bill Baker, Meredith Baker, and John Sitting Hawk.
