'Yotie (working title)

Hopi/Tewa singer/songwriter, artist, activist, and edu-tainer, Ed Kabotie, lives a life dedicated to advocating for Native issues of the Colorado Plateau and Southwest. 

An accomplished visual artist from a family known for their art, and a brilliant songwriter who blends personal experience, regional history, Native issues, and contagious reggae tunes with his band, Tha 'Yoties, Ed's story is one of struggle with living true to his identity in a world of systemic racism, greed, and alienation.  This documentary offers an introduction to Ed's world, his music, art, and the things that matter to him as an artist, a Native, and as a human being.

Filming began in the last quarter of 2023, and is scheduled to finish in fall 2024, with post-production slated to wrap in the first quarter of 2025.  You can help support this production by becoming a patron on the Southwest Stories Patreon page: www.patreon.com/southweststories

SOUTHWEST STORIES, SEASON 3

The Southwest is one of the most dramatically beautiful and culturally diverse regions on our planet.  Southwest Stories takes our audience deeper into the rich layers of history, culture, experiences, and nature, to forge strong connections with the land, natural world, and people of the region, while supporting a more mindful and responsible culture for travelers who set off to experience the Southwest for themselves.

Southwest Stories: Where the Old West Met the New

Southwest Stories heads up to legendary Pioneertown to make pottery at MazAmar Art Pottery, play a little music with the Gypsy Cowboy String Quartet at the Pioneertown Soundstage, walk the streets of the (Hollywood version of) the Old West at Gold Mountain Studios, and fly in to Calmada Boutique Hotel to discover the French connection to Pioneertown. We'd like to dedicate this episode to David Mindancer Duran of Gold Mountain Studios who walked on shortly after this season began. We'd also like to thank all the Old West re-enactors, Steve Rushingwind, Scot "One Shot" McKone, our intern Jamie Bergey, Dawg and the band, Amara and Thomas, Benoit and Chris, and all the wonderful folks who helped us with this episode, and all the others. What a wonderful experience! It was great to include some time in our own backyards in this season!
