'Oyate Woyaka': Language, history & storytelling

On today's show...

We talk about the wind, snow and cold blowing through the state. Peter Rogers, warning coordination meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Sioux Falls, brings us the forecast.

Two South Dakota Mines researchers explore how the fertilizers we use could be healthier, more sustainable and more efficient. We learn about the biofertilizer project that earned a $4 million National Science Foundation award.

The new documentary "Oyate Woyaka" invites viewers to consider the power of language. We talk about the impacts of the Lakota language on Lakota history, culture and spirituality.

Filmmaker George McAuliffe joins us to discuss why it took four years to create the Lakota language documentary with his uncle Bryant High Horse Jr.

Plus, we preview a special Easter sunrise service taking place at an iconic South Dakota location.
