Asylum Policy:
TATANKA is unable to provide direct asylum assistance, but as a TATANKA employee, we can provide Work Visa Sponsorship for individuals, however, not families:
TATANKA offers work visas for asylum seekers to join our team, providing a pathway to legal entry and potential permanent residency.
TATANKA helps identify specific job openings within TATANKA (e.g., musicians, production staff, administrators) that can be filled by asylum seekers.
TATANKA is compliant with all U.S. labor laws, regulations and processes for sponsoring work visas, but is unable to provide application support, legal guidance, or financial support of any kind. Considering our 24/7 Live Steaming “Reality” video feed, security cannot be ensured, so we ask all applicants to review all options before applying. Other options are shared below to share all relevant information but again, we applicants who might seek asylum to examine your options and proceed accordingly.
TATANKA is an extended family of families. Our performers and staff might want their loved ones with them at our facility, where all co-habitate, accommodated with private residential suites, apartments, cabins, or individual homes, depending on the site selection. The benefits to individuals and their loved ones are obvious, but additionally will benefit the larger tribe, TATANKA, in our efforts to reach our goals. Aligned to those goals, the ability to provide shelter, safety and security to those who might need it, is an option for any performer or staff member.
TATANKA is a social impact initiative that harnesses the power of arts and community to provide support and safety to those fleeing conflict, persecution, and danger. Our mission is to create a safe haven for individuals from nations suffering from conflict. There is no partiality. There are no sides other than the collective one. #OneLove means unity, true harmony, which we do not just say we support; we model it by action and policy.
We illustrate conflict resolution and amity via our performances, recordings, to show by example that peace is a matter of will . In fact, once groups in conflict converge to collaborate with art creation and performance, as in our case, it is an ideal method to understand that we all share more in common, and much less in contrast. TATANKA creates a pragmatic approach to increase awareness and education of all stakeholders, ultimately our audiences.
At TATANKA, we believe in the transformative power of arts and creativity. Below are some concrete methods and plans to help provide asylum, leveraging TATANKA’s specific and unique strengths. Our initiatives include many approaches and opportunities, including the following ten:

In collaboration with trusted legal counsel and community networks, we ensure that all our operations adhere to U.S. laws while providing a protective space for those in need. Each case is handled with the utmost confidentiality to protect the identities of the individuals we serve.
Security Measures: To safeguard both our staff and asylum seekers, we employ a robust security system, which includes:
