Through Native Eyes Productions
LARRY CESSPOOCH, DIRECTOR/PRODUCER
Grampa Jasper (Weech) sang & Gramma Rebecca & Uncles danced with our relatives the Lawrence Appah Family. | I was raised by my Cuch Family. They danced with other Ute dancers for many tribal events. | My Uncle Joop (Nuns) in the red regalia made my first outfit and taught me how to dance. I followed him like a duckling. My Uncle Wilson Johnson looked on. Gramma Rebecca watched on the side line. |

After graduating from the Institute of American Indian Arts and the Anthropology Film Center in Santa Fe, N.M. I returned home to create the one of the first Native film production groups in the states. We produced over 600 productions on Ute culture & history for our tribal archives. I left the tribe in 2002 to produce my own productions. | I was with Fleet Tactical Air Squadron VRC-50 flying C-2 (COD) Cargo Planes to and from Yankee Station & the Phillipines. | I've played with a few bands over the years. Our first band, "Royal Coachmen" in the 60's. This band were all Ute musicians from past bands reunited to play the UBIC. |
I had the opportunity to present to the Scouts Jamboree in the High Uinta Mountains. | The Ute Tribe's Uintah River High School won the State Charter High School Basketball Championship in 2014. It was a fun story to film. | I worked as the Headstart Fatherhood Coordinator. I created little books on Ute culture, which we used to create Ute artifacts the fathers and their children made. |
