Storytellers steeped in Native American culture and heritage take audiences on a wondrous tour of pre-colonial North America in this unique children’s play. Using ensemble acting and simple sets and props, a group of nine or more storytellers recreate seven folktales and legends of Native American culture, from the origin stories of the universe to legends of men, women, and animals who lived all over North America prior to the arrival of Europeans.
Six “tellers,” assisted by a navigator, a translator, and a scholar, teach about Native American tribal locations, customs, language, and culture in a series of short five- to seven-minute plays-within-a-play. These stories are woven together in such a way as to allow morals and lessons to shine through while keeping even younger audiences engaged and interested in Native American heritage.
Instead of an ensemble of nine, different actors can play in each scene to create a larger cast production to both entertain and educate. Actors and audiences alike will be swept away in the magic and wonder of Native American folktales and legends.
