[Linganth] films on indigenous languages?

[Kerim Friedman]

Also worth mentioning is this excellent student project from Haverford
College with both English and Spanish subtitles

Dizhsa Nabani
https://doculabs.haverford.edu/dizhsanabani/

Not in Spanish, as far as I know, but also about indigenous languages, is

Tongues of Heaven

Cheers,

Kerim
