I Am American
by Jennifer Tibbets
TIME: Present.
SETTING: Bare stage.
AT RISE: MAX LITTLEFOOT stands center. Behind him, THREE SILHOUETTES stand reaching upward toward the sky. As MAX LITTLEFOOT begins his speech, SILHOUETTES enact Amerindian dance to offstage drumbeat.
MAX LITTLEFOOT: I am American. My ancestors have lived on this land since memory began. My tribal elders speak of a large turtle that rose out of the sea. This Turtle Island—Earth—provides everything we need. My ancestors could read the earth. They saw a scuff in the dirt and would find deer to hunt. They smelled the thawing riverbanks and knew salmon were on their way upstream to spawn. They touched the rough bark of a pine and it would become a strong wigwam.
