Truly a remarkable play.  It was not a ÒBuffalo BillÓ type show.
¥ A human drama symbolic of the human condition.
¥ Accurately describes American Indian spiritual beliefs.
¥ A Òpassion playÓ--not designed to entertain with a story, but to transform the audience spiritually.
¥ poetic and profound--like a Shakespearean play or a Greek drama.
¥ over 3-hours long!
¥ People loved it, even those who didnÕt understand it.
¥ As produced by the art community, it was itself an incredible work of art.
