Murielle Borst-Tarrant/Don’t Feed the Indians Ensemble

Watch out when Indian show business meets the Doctrine of Discovery! A raucous play and political satire loosely based on Dante’s Divine Comedy. A comedic Native-Aesthetic look at the negative marginalization of Indigenous Peoples and the appropriation of Indigenous cultural and intellectual property. See what happens when the Indians push back. The audience is taken into a world of Indian show business and show biz Indians taking the journey in the history of misappropriation of Native images and racism in film, theater, and pop culture through the point of view of the Native lens. In collaboration with the Silvercloud Singers.
