Description"ix, 177 p. : ill. ; 24 cm."Published here for the first time, these plays display the author's signature talent for interweaving oral and literary traditions. The indolent boys recounts the 1891 tragedy of runaways from the Kiowa Boarding School who froze to death while trying to return to their families. The play explores the consequences, for Indian students and their white teachers, of the federal program to "kill the Indian and save the Man." A joyous counterpoint to this tragedy, Children of the sun is a short children's play that explains the people's relationship to the sun.
