- Reading
- Try reading a play aloud, then choose parts and staging suggestions together; the parts can be adjusted to suit the size of your group.
- Themes
- Traditional tales and cultural context: Seven plays adapt traditional tales associated with the Abenaki, Ojibway, Cherokee, Cheyenne, Snohomish, Tlingit and Zuni, with introductory notes and illustrations. The accompanying notes and illustrations are presented as helping readers understand the nations whose traditions inspired the plays.
- Worth knowing
- The stories are adaptations of traditional tales. If cultural context matters to your family, you may want to look at the introductory notes alongside the plays.
