Join Artistic Director Devin Hughes the Boulder Symphony & Music Academy, and the Northern Arapaho Eagle Society as they record a new and inspiring reimagining of the soundtrack for “The Covered Wagon” (87 min).
The epic 1923 silent film about settlers traveling in wagon trains from Missouri to Oregon. The pioneers encounter conflicts with Arapaho along the way. The music retells the story from a tribal perspective and reverses negative Native American stereotypes perpetuated by popular media spanning three centuries. The Arapaho Redux provides a safe space for diverse and collaborative voices to support the Arapaho people as they pass on the tribal language and ceremonies to their children.
Boulder Community Media (BCM) and Off-Broadway Arts present a documentary film by Alan O’Hashi – Author and Filmmaker, Director of Photography and Editor – Michael M. Conti.
