About Me
Hello, my name is Wiyohpeyata Hotain,....or Billy, born and raised in San Jose, CA. I am proud and honored to been given my Lakota name by my Uncle Richard and his Father, Grandpa(la-la)Steve Charging Eagle. My tribes are Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe (Lakota) and Pueblo of Acoma. When on vacation, I love to go "home" away from home to Eagle Butte, South Dakota and Sky City on the Acoma Rez in New Mexico. My proud parents are Hank "Chief" LeBeau (Lakota) and Roberta LeBeau (Acoma Pueblo). My father's mother is Emily Isabel Swift Cloud Hodgekiss .... and to this day I still miss her. Presently, my mom has moved back to Albuquerque NM. And is retired but preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ Ministries in various cities in New Mexico. The "Chief" still lives in San Jose and still works for the Indian Center of Santa Clara Valley and is a Father at St. Philip's Episcopal Church. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH.
Today, I am currently seeing a beautiful woman who has touched my soul and made me so happy to be ME!. On weekends, most of my time goes to singing with Swiftcloud Drum at pow wow's, as well as ceremonies, community events, etc. I've been involved with Swiftcloud Drum for fifteen years as their drum leader/keeper.
But away from pow wows and work. I love to take My Love out to town or check out local live music (Mitch Woods and his Rocket 88's)( Grandpa's Chile), concerts (Rolling Stones/Van Morisson, the Police, George Strait) (Def Leppard), or having a tasty steak at Henry's Hi Lite before a Sharks game or Japanese food at Okiyama's in San Jose's Japantown. (Yo Leroy!)
When watching the tube, it has to be NASCAR (Go Jeff Gordon!!!!), the five time "bling-bling" S.F 49ers, S.F Giants, S.J Sharks, and the Golden State Warriors as well.
I will always carry the respect and humor to all people of all colors of this world. Being Damn PROUD of who I am not only being a "SKIN" but a MAN. That's how I was raised "In the City", buy my parents and my Grandmother. To cherish life with friends and family. And be remembered for the songs from within my soul. Peace and love to all.
