Two flute compositions by Jonah Littlesunday are featured in a short film by the Noisy Waters project.

Noisy Waters project is a shared effort to honor First Nation and Indigenous Peoples of all unceded ancestral lands north and south of the 49th parallel identified across the Columbia River Basin. This short film portrays the personal journey of Harry Wong, Jr. as he honors his ancestors and prays for his Salmon relatives to return home. Noisy Waters celebrates the power of storytelling and offers a respectful way to address the harm and devastation that came with the building of the Grand Coulee Dam.
