As a student of Texas State University, the river is part of our culture. My class ring depicts tubers floating in the San Marcos in front of Old Main. Just that alone shows you the relationship that this river has with our community. To me, Yakona told the rivers' story. From beginning to end. It showcased to natural beauty that many of us in the community don't realize we swim in. The filmmakers subtly tell us that in order for us to enjoy another 12,000 years of these waters, we need to protect it. I was so moved at the imagery of this film. It provided a story with just scenes. No narration needed. They let the river tell us it's life story. We should do all that we can to let that story continue.
