Story Number Seven
Earth Tales
We perform three stories from the following:
“COYOTE” done in the style of the old Looney Tunes cartoons,” is a combination of several Coyote stories from across Native America, that we’ve adapted to stress the necessity of the 3 Rs: reduce, recycle, reuse.
“RAINBOW BRIDGE” is a Chumash Native American origin tale that stresses living in harmony with the land and sea. Kids play a Magic Plant that turns into Human Beings
“THE INVISIBLE HUNTERS” is a Miskito Indian tale from Nicaragua about staying true to the tenets of the tribe. Kids play a Wari Pig, a Miskito Hunter, and a Rich Foreign Merchant.
“WHO OWNS THE LAND” is a Nordic tale about who should rightfully own the land. The audience becomes the Townsfolk and Seven Previous Owners of the Land.
