The Trail Less Traveled

Music and Culture of the Hualapai Nation


Listen Later

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.
