Mitch Walking Elk (72) is a singer-songwriter from the Cheyenne-Arapaho nation. His biography "I Will Never Surrender" paints a typical picture of the life of a Native American in North America. Child poverty, lack of prospects, alcohol, crime, ... but also spirituality, creativity, political and social commitment. Much of what Mitch Walking Elk has to tell, he tells in his songs, American song material between country folk and blues, between love songs and protest songs of a seasoned singer of the First Nation.
Walking Elk is giving concerts in Germany in the fifty-first year of the Dakota uprising at Wounded Knee, in which the Native American call for freedom and human rights was once again heard far and wide around the world - and remained unheard and disregarded.
