Quechan filmmaker Daniel Golding is using modern technology to

Golding's documentary “Songs of the Colorado,” which premieres
Saturday, spotlights the traditional songs of American and Mexican
tribes of the Southwest who speak the Yuman language.

For two years, Golding traveled to interview and film lead singers of
various tribes. And for the first time, lead singers from those tribes
gathered to discuss common issues such as loss of language and the
effects the loss had on learning the songs.
