Tatanka Ohitika (“Strong Buffalo”) is a Dakota elder and poet from the Sisseton- Wahpeton Oyate. He is a decorated Marine Corps Vietnam Veteran and American Indian Movement (AIM) activist who has traveled around the world performing his work, collecting a million stories and writing “a zillion” poems, advocating for indigenous peoples across the globe. His trusty sidekick, The Custard Kid, is a quickdraw music magician who colors the edges of their live poetry with layers of spontaneous and playful abandon. Together, they join forces to deliver much needed love medicine to a world in need, with wise words and dirty grooves, accompanied by psychedelic live video projections and interspersed with thoughtful conversation. Live video projections by video artist Brian Dehler.
