From acclaimed Native American storyteller Joseph Bruchac comes a
collection of seven lively plays for children to perform, each one
adapted from a different traditional Native tale. Filled with heroes and
tricksters, comedy and drama, these entertaining plays are a wonderful
way to bring Native cultures to life for young people. Each play has
multiple parts that can be adjusted to suit the size of a particular
group and includes simple, informative suggestions for props, scenery,
and costumes that children can help to create. Introductory notes and
beautiful, detailed illustrations add to young readers' understanding of
the seven Native nations whose traditions have inspired the plays.
