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.
