It’s a question posed by teen participants in a digital-media workshop titled “Ancient Voices, Modern Tools,” at Santa Fe’s Indigenous Language Institute. The 13 students involved learned how to use film as an educational tool to promote the use of Native tongues. The three-day workshop culminated Thursday with an in-class screening (popcorn included) of the completed works, which ran 3 to 5 minutes — and packed a lot of story into that tight time frame.
