After he finished that film in 2006, captivated by the songs, he decided to make another documentary through the voices of the Cahuilla tribal elders, educators and singers.
"Sing Birds: Following the Path of Cahuilla Power," will premiere at 7 p.m. Sunday in the Stephens Recital Hall at Idyllwild Arts Academy. The event is free and will be followed by a panel discussion.

A lil Hummingbird told me,This so called friend of the Cahuilla Stopped a Film being Produced for the Smithsonian in Washington DC by a bird singer, Alvino Siva. In his film that was about an ancient Cahuilla Eagle dance being Re-introduced after being opinionated about the quality of help he was getting. After advising Mr. Siva of his observation, Mr. Siva ended a novice native american film maker's relationship last April of this year. Instead of assisting Alvino, he just hindered what could have been a last man's wish to continue the eagle dance to the next generation, Instead... he left Alvino hanging , waiting for himself to release his film on primitive sounds? I guess its all science and business. He Knows what he has done. Good time to respectfully release a film ,after knowing who we just lost and feel about them. Shows A lot of Conciderate , Compassionate intentions that lasted as long as it did not interfere with his agenda. Condescending is the description I hear in the wind when "We" think of Owen.
