Elk Song (Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado)

  • Summary

  • On a late afternoon in autumn, when the sun bends the shadows and gives a gold tip to the crowns of Doug fir and lodgepole, CMarie Fuhrman walks into the forest with her cello. Playing for the first time in years, her mind drifts to the ancient death of a robin, the recent death of an elk, the way humans play guns and cellos both.

    This episode takes place on Cheyenne and Arapahoe homelands.
