The Vision

Our vision for The Eternal Song documentary series is to honor Indigenous resilience, illuminate sacred wisdom held for humanity and Earth, and invite healing across communities facing trauma and colonial erasure.

About the film

Amidst the wide horizons of Diné land, the legacy of historical trauma echoes through generations. At the center, a medicine man and a small school, where grief and resilience meet in song, teaching, and k’é (kinship). Little Singer is rooted in the land; carrying the vision and medicine of k’é for those yet to come.

Show us the truth. Show us what real love is and may all of the stories serve to show us the way forward.

Pat McCabe, Activist, Ceremonial leader

A Navajo child, they're not born to just parents, they're born into a family. They're born into a community, and they all have a role in bringing up a child.

Byrde Nez, Diné Trauma Trainer Great Granddaughter of Little Singer

By the standards of value in American society... you have nothing. But for me, it felt like we had everything—that we were maybe the richest people in the world.

Clayson Benally, Diné musician, horse trainer & traditional healer

What's really important is how we reframe our traditional life ways, because so many people see it in this colonized sense as being poverty. When in fact it is not poverty.

Jeneda Benally, Diné musician & activist

The rhythm of those songs that I grew up with, they still echo around here. You can hear it, you know, in the wind.

Byrde Nez, Diné Trauma Trainer Great Granddaughter of Little Singer

Our language evolved from spiritual beings... That's where our language developed. That's where it caught a spirit.

Albert Brent Chase, Language teacher at Little Singer School

Reaching out to the ancestors to come, I just ask you to, to call out to us and to sing to us because we're headed your way. Walking that beauty way pathway. Let this storytelling be a part of that.

Pat McCabe, Activist, Ceremonial leader

Why can't the new generations of Americans learn the truth so they can better understand their history?

Albert Brent Chase, Language teacher at Little Singer School
