The Indigenous People have survived by storytelling – a form of resistance. We’re the ancestors of an age to come. A collective spirit through the centuries that work to make a difference, every generation has to move the boulder of good forward. If we don’t tell our stories, who will? River of Love is a supernatural love story about a fierce Indigenous-Chicana girl growing up in a white Colorado town in the 1970s. River of Love is a love letter to the Southern Rocky Mountains, the Spirits, a close-knit family, and even to youth itself. The Arkansas River is a vital character, as is the environment and wisdom of the ancestors. Things that happen when you’re young seem so much more important because they’re happening for the first time. Indigenous-Chicanas’ straddle two very different cultures; River of Love explores how we are all connected. ​
