MMIW/MMIP
Here are some great resources about Missing Murdered Indigenous People, and how to help. Then most important thing is educating yourself on these topics and learning how this effects indigenous peoples. I put together a list of links. They include: What to learn about MMIP, how to help, and local Facebook groups.
Elise Bear
Elise Bear (They/She) (Iowa of OK/Osage) is a storyteller from Pawhuska, OK and received their B.A. in Theatre & Performance from Oklahoma City University. They are a director, performer, voice actor, dramaturg, and newly a poet. Recent projects include: The Mvskoke Project (Springer Opera House), Native Voices at the Autry’s Short Play Festival (dramaturg), How to Smoke Three Cigarettes at Once (Co.Arts, co-writer) and working as a teaching assistant at the Chickasaw Arts Academy for the Intermediate On Camera Acting Class. They are incredibly excited to be performing as Annette in Native in America for the Theatre Crude Festival!
Honokee Dunn
Honokee Dunn (They/them) is an enrolled member of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians. They also claim Mvskoke Creek, Cherokee, Seminole, Tunica-Biloxi and Creole ancestry. The Two-spirit artist has been in works such as “Round Dance” by Arigon Starr, “Diné Nishłį” by Blossom Johnson, and “Chat Rats” by Mary Sue Price. They have also had their own work produced, first by Native Voices at the Autry for their Fourteenth Annual Short Play Festival: “Who you callin’ Stoic?”, a ten-minute short play titled “Stoic Indian”, and a staged reading of “Tourniquet” after winning the Yale Young Native Playwright’s contest.
Special Thanks to
Miwese Greenwood and Eddie Yellowfish
The show's sound would not have been possible without the help of these two. Together they generously worked to cultivate 3 intertribal songs. Miwese also recorded a song on a traditional tribal flute
