In South Dakota, Pine Ridge Indian Reservation is as big as Delaware and Rhode Island combined. It has some of the highest poverty rates in the United States. For three years, it has also hosted shows with music written for an orchestra by high school students.


"It's really a great thing to see these kids, and the pride that the reservation has in having these kids be stars," said David Gier. He is the music leader of the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra.


The yearly music academy is one part of the Lakota Music Project. It's a program developed with the orchestra and musicians of the Lakota Native American tribe. The goal is to create cultural cooperation, teaching people about the Lakota and the orchestra.


"Through music, we are able to show a side of us that nobody gets to see," said Emmanuel Black Bear, a singer. He has been part of the Lakota Music Project since 2009. The native people have "a rich culture," he said. "I wanted to be a part of something where we could show the positive side of our people through music."


Black Bear is bringing the Lakota Music Project to Washington, D.C. Native flute player Bryan Akipa and nine members of the South Dakota Symphony are also going. In October, Black Bear will perform at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian and at Washington National Cathedral. It is for a festival hosted by the PostClassical Ensemble. The goal is to show Native American influences on American music.


Matching Two Different Types Of Music Together

The Lakota Music Project "deserves to be more widely known," said Joseph Horowitz. He is the PostClassical Ensemble's leader.


The project began in 2005. It was soon after Gier started with the orchestra. He wanted to develop community programs, and he learned about tensions in his new community between Native and non-Native Americans.


Gier approached local leaders and experts. One was Ronnie Theisz, a writer of books on Lakota culture. The two men talked about creating a project.


An idea came one snowy evening at Pine Ridge. Some of the orchestra's musicians met with the Porcupine Singers, a drumming circle on the reservation. They played music for each other.


Gier said the keeper of the drum talked about singing old songs and passing on tradition to younger people. It was the main thing both groups shared.


There are plenty of differences, too. The timing of the two types of music is different, said Black Bear. "In the beginning, it was kind of difficult to match them together."


Hearing The Music Instead Of Trying To Change It

The first Lakota Music Project tour, in 2009, set themes for the concerts. Theisz became a leader on the project. He suggested grouping the concert around love and death, joy and sadness, with music from each culture. The second half had new works on Lakota themes.


The Lakota Music Project is coming to Washington because of Horowitz's support of the Indianist movement. It was in the early 1900s. American composers wrote music based on Native American themes. Horowitz calls it "a major American cultural event that's been totally forgotten."


From the Lakota point of view, however, the "Indianist" movement inappropriately uses Native American customs. It's based on a misunderstanding of Native traditions, they believe.


"Even when they loved to take source music from different Indian tribes," Theisz said of the Indianist composers, "they didn't appreciate it." They wanted to try to improve it, he said.


"We're trying to counter that," he said. "Hearing the real music is part of the project."


The Lakota Music Project's focus remains on building bridges through music.


"It's just human connection," Gier said, "and feeling like we can make a difference."

O quotations from military sources statistics from code breakers. surprising personal anecdotes. As a result of the cut cables, Germany lost its most secure long-distance communications system. The Germans now had to rely on radio transmissions from their powerful wireless station at Nauen, a few miles from Berlin. Which was exactly what the British military knew they would have to do. And once the Germans began sending wireless messages, MI8, the British code breakers, began plucking them from the air. Of course, all German correspondence was sent in a complicated cipher system, so that was when the hard work began for the code breakers of M18.​

An oath from Perrault, the resounding impact of a club
upon a bony frame, and a shrill yelp of pain, heralded the
breaking forth of pandemonium. The camp was
suddenly discovered to be alive with skulking furry
forms,-starving huskies, four or five score of them,
who had scented the camp from some Indian village.
They had crept in while Buck and Spitz were fighting,
and when the two men sprang among them with stout
clubs they showed their teeth and fought back. They
were crazed by the smell of the food. Perrault found one
with head buried in the grub-box.
O Perrault is fighting stray dogs that have invaded the
campsite looking for food.
O Perrault is punishing members of his dogsled team
for their aggressive acts.
Perrault is reprimanding his dogsled team for stealing
scraps of food.
O Perrault is feeding wild dogs and training them for
work on his team.
