Thoroughly researched and reviewed by leaders of the Cherokee Qualla
Reservation in North Carolina.
Performed
at Talequah Arts Council to Rave Reviews!
 
Scene
from "Unto These Hills", Cherokee NC -- Qualla Display
Producers,
this script is lively and moves swiftly,
presenting history
and human struggle with clever dialogue and quick scenes that build
to an exciting end. Simple masks and Indian costumes, a minimal
symbolic set and the use of primitive drums, make for an elegant
production. It books easily -- teachers love the tie-in to American
Indians and Native American History.
