Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The greatest difficulty to be met in the writing of an Indian play is the extensive misinformation about Indians. Any real aboriginal of my acquaintance resembles his prototype in the public mind about as much as he does the high-nosed, wooden sign of a tobacco store, the fact being that, among the fifty-eight linguistic groups of American aboriginals, customs, traits, and beliefs differ as greatly as among Slavs and Sicilians.

Even if the Chisera owned it, I would not believe it. (The men move in the direction of the merrymaking and are met by the younger people, laughing and shouting for Simwa. Padahoon watches them bitterly for a while, and, revolving many things, draws his blanket up and departs in the direction of the Chisera's hut.) Pamaquash Come, Arrow-Maker, a speech for your bridal. (Laughter and approval.) SlMWA (Drunk with popularity.) The war leader loves deeds rather than talking. Tavwots We have seen what your fighting is like. Give us a speech. Simwa Friends and tribesmen, the fortune of Simwa is Simwa. Does the Bear take weapons against the woodchuck, and shall the sons of the Bear make charms against their enemies? The spoil of Castac is in our camp (cheers) and our young men hunt within their borders. (Applause.) If any of the tribes inquire where are the fullest harvests, the fattest deer, the prettiest maidens (he flings his blanket about Bright Water), bid him look for the land of Simwa the ArrowMaker. (Shouts and laughter.) Young Men Come, now, a dance, a dance! Tavwots, dance for us! (The cries increasing, Tavwots is pushed forward to dance, others cry for PamaQuash and Yavi, who join Tavwots, laughing, to dance the blanket dance, all the others singing and keeping time with swaying bodies. The girls hover about the dancers, and as at certain points in the dance the Young Men attempt to cast their blankets about the heads of the girls, they duck and squeal. Finally, amid much laughter, each dancer captures a girl, rubbing his cheek against hers, the Indian equivalent of a kiss. With great merriment the crowd...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Arrow-Maker: A Drama in Three Acts Greater freedom from the stimulus of the imagination. What among us makes for the immensity Of emo tion, is the great weight Of accumulated emotional tradition stored up in literature and art, almost entirely wanting in the camps of the aboriginals.. There the two greatest themes Of modern drama, love and ambition, are modified, the one by the more or less communal nature Of tribal labour, the' other by the plain fact that in the simple, open-air life of the Indian the physical stress of sex is actually much less than in conditions called civilized.

Book excerpt: The life story of a poor, half-breed boy from Trinidad, Colorado during the 1930's. He was taught native survival skills and how to become an arrow maker. As an only child during the depression, Robert was employed by his father from the age of 6, to gather trash, clean out ash pits and septic tanks. By the age of 7 Robert was working in the local coal mines. The town's doctor helped forge documents and distract Robert's father, enabling young Robert to catch a bus and join the Army. Wishing to get as far away from his parents as possible, Robert requested to go to Japan, just before the Korean Conflict erupted. By doing well in training; in spite of relentless discrimination; Robert was accepted to become a "Ranger" for 25th Infantry Headquarters. This brief crucible, of being a POW after completing a covert mission, forever scarred him. After being mangled by torture and mortar fire, Robert left Korea. However, PTSD, secret codes on his DD-214, plus the Army basically disavowing he was in Korea at all, set the foundation for a rough life. The comfort of a wife and children were not to be. Though he had many; of each over time; they became lost to fear, child welfare and dementia. The FBI hounded Robert across country for various reasons, pulling him back to Trinidad, Colorado. Through it all, Robert depended on his affinity for rocks. Robert mined agates, jaspers, chalcedony and obsidian, turquoise and crystals, to sell to rock shops across the US. He eventually landed in the sacred Black Hills of South Dakota. He worked as an archeologist and paleontologist for the Pactola District - not far from Sturgis. Dusting off his arrow making skills Robert became an important tourist draw and local advocate to the Lakota Sioux from Pine Ridge. By the year 2013, cancer took wife #4. While Robert was very sick in a VA hospital, she gave away their 40 acres and mobile home to her "friends". Homeless once again at the age of 83, Robert knew his end was near. Then love arrived.
