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.
