Utah Epodcopalians: Ute Elder Forrest Cuch on How Creating "Tuniyay" Indian School Documentary Helped Heal Trauma That is Part of Indigenous People

In this episode of the Utah Epodcopalians Podcast: Ute Elder Forrest Cuch tells podcast host Craig Wirth how days of filming for the "Tuniyay" documentary was cathartic in telling the story of people who knew and only knew from his heritage who suffered at the Uintah Indian School.
