Despite this, there are some musicians who use the Dakota language in their music. One of the most popular is Kevin Locke, a traditional Native American flute player and hoop dancer. He sings in both English and Dakota and has released several albums with Dakota language songs.
Another musician who uses the Dakota language is Dakota Hoksila, a rapper and hip-hop artist. His music addresses social issues facing Native American communities and he raps in both English and Dakota.
There are also radio stations that broadcast in the Dakota language. One of them is KILI Radio, located in Porcupine, South Dakota.
