Music and Culture of the Hualapai Nation

This episode was recorded on the Colorado River within the walls
of the Grand Canyon. Clayborn Nodman is a traditional
singer, story teller, dancer and member of
the Hualapai or Walapai. The Hualapai are a
tribe of Native Americans who live in the mountains of
northwestern Arizona, United States. Today they are
enrolled in the Hualapai Indian Tribe of the Hualapai Indian
Reservation.


The name, meaning "people of the tall trees", is derived
from the Hualapai word for ponderosa
pine. Their traditional territory is a 108-mile stretch
along the pine-clad southern side of the Grand
Canyon and the Colorado River with the tribal
capital located at Peach Springs. This episode was recorded
in various side canyons of the Grand Canyon.
