Waktégli Olówaŋ (Victory Songs) is composed in honor of Robert Moore, Lloyd Running Bear, Sr. and all Lakota warriors. It is based upon the book Indian Heroes and Great Chieftains, by Charles Alexander Eastman (Ohíye S’a). Eastman (1858-1939) was a Santee Sioux physician, writer, lecturer and reformer. His literary output is an outstanding personal account of Sioux history. Indian Heroes and Great Chieftains is a set of 15 biographies of historic Sioux warriors, most of whom Eastman knew personally.

Victory songs are traditional songs made specifically for Lakota warriors and their immediate victories and accomplishments. They were composed by a warrior who was recounting his victories in battle, or in honor of a recently fallen warrior. These songs are of great importance, for they actually serve as aural historical documents for Lakota tribal members

Waktégli Olówaŋ is an orchestral rhapsody, inspired by Eastman’s writings, and features five of the warriors in his book: Red Cloud, Two Strike, Gall, Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull. Through symphonic and vocal poetry, each movement depicts a warrior and his deeds The introduction expresses honor and respect to the Great Sioux Nation from a Chickasaw man. Musical material is inspired by and quoted from existing Lakota victory songs and honor songs. Original poetry is by the composer.

Waktégli Olówaŋ was commissioned by the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra and premiered on January 12, 1013.
