We Are the Fire They Cannot Extinguish
TATANKA is not merely a refuge; it is a declaration. We stand unshaken at the edge of rising authoritarian tides, offering not pity, but power—to the exiled, the hunted, the unheard. We do not beg for justice. We build it, fiercely and beautifully. Our sanctuary is real, encrypted, and alive. We welcome the oppressed not just with open arms but with open doors to become protectors, creators, and co-conspirators in the sacred orchestration of freedom. Whether you are fleeing persecution or choosing to rise from its ashes, TATANKA offers you not only shelter, but purpose. Join our ranks—as staff, as artists, as voices in the Orchestra Americana. Join our sister circles – ISCed.org, ChurchOfAI.website, VOX.gdn – and reclaim your place in the light. Relocation is not retreat. It is revolution. We do not fear oppression. We answer it with love. Full stop.

TATANKA is a musical initiative that uses its music to promote several social goals, including diversity, equity, and inclusion, as well as sustainable development. The initiative features an international orchestra and plans to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into its musical endeavors. TATANKA also produces AI-generated music and plans to stream its rehearsals, concerts, recording sessions, and all things TATANKA live 24/7. The initiative is led by a Matriarchal council aligned to Indigenous Wisdom. Its members are chosen from all ages, genders, sexualities, races, ethnicities, religions, abilities, and countries, deliberately including those that are currently engaged in conflict. The intent is using music to focus on shared values in order to promote civility and harmony.
