Does your drama class need a shake up?<\/h2>\n

Let stir the imaginations<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In Hamlet, the grave diggers’ spoke with a barrister\u2019s skull.
\nI have used skulls of bear, buffalo, and horse to loosen the tongues of
\nstudents. The stories I tell lend themselves to on the spot role playing
\nand student interviews of each other, giving voices to the persons and
\neven the animals we have just talked about in one or all of the four stories
\nI describe below.<\/p>\n

I focus on the opportunities these four stories listed below. I use Eyes
\non the Maps, Hands on the Artifacts and Sculptures to introduce Story
\nTelling. For example the 4th Grade\u2019s curriculum covers Wisconsin\u2019s
\nPeoples, especially Native America. The 5th Grade\u2019s curriculum covers
\nthe Western Expansion. The other grades all consider Environmental Science.<\/p>\n

Paintings such as those of Charles Russell, photographs such as those
\nof Edward Curtis, and maps are always part of my work. Maps of Wisconsin
\nare an important in the story of Black Hawk\u2019s Run from Abe Lincoln
\nand the Illinois Volunteers.<\/p>\n

I tell first person accounts of my moments with the Lakota Buffalo Hunters,
\nthe Ojibwe Fishers, Hunters and Trappers; and the Makah Whale Hunters.
\nMy sculptures focus attention and are connections which snare the less
\ninattentive and stir student questions. See attached images of my finished
\nBuffalo Runner, Spawning Salmon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Black Hawk\u2019s Run
\nfrom Abe Lincoln and the Illinois Volunteers<\/strong><\/em>This discussion traces the unsuccessful escape route thru southwest
\nWisconsin from Milton\/Ft Atkinson west to disaster at the Bad Ax
\nRiver South of La Crosse. His remnant peoples now reside on small
\nreservations in Oklahoma and Kansas.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
Treaty Rights of the Chippewa:
\nFishing with Traps and Spears <\/em><\/strong>This discussion covers the recent federal cases US Constitution,
\nthe four mid 1800\u2019s cessions of these tribes which nevertheless
\nare still entitled under federal law to hunt and fish on ceded lands
\nin Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. The Chippewa lands are located
\nin all three states and Canada. This discussion covers dams and
\nrestoration of wild rice habitats.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
The Last Lakota Ceremonial
\nBuffalo Hunt <\/em><\/strong>This is the story of the hunt conducted in 1882 while Sitting Bull
\nwas in jail. I grew up finding the arrow heads and skulls of that
\nhunt in which 3000 Lakota killed 5000 buffalo. I lived and breathed
\nthat story on and off for 55 years. I grew up tagging along with
\nmy father who hunted in the middle of the hunt site. This is the
\nstory is behind my sculpture and the race horse event which nearly
\nkilled me. See the attached image of my completed sculpture. The
\nLakota were my law office clients.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
The Makah Whalers Resumption
\nof Traditional Hunting <\/strong><\/em>This discussion covers the 1990\u2019s treaty rights cases involving
\nthe Makah and Greenpeace on one side (yes, as allies) and the Shepards
\nof the Seas on the other. After 78 years of voluntary cessation,
\nthe Mahah who first perceived the danger of extinction of the Grey
\nwhales, agreed with the scientists.Because the grey whale populations have recovered, 100 now died
\nevery year from old age and ship propeller\u2019s strikes, the
\nMakah agreed to resume Treaty Rights Whaling. The resumption was
\nwidely covered by media, the International Whaling Commission, and
\nthe US Fish and Wild Life. My personal connection is that I was
\ninvited to catch the five species of wild Pacific Salmon with one
\nof the Makah High School boys who paddled the traditional canoe
\nwhen the Makah killed a 30 ton whale.<\/p>\n

The Makah\u2019s tribal story teller his grandmother, welcomed
\nus into her living room and fed us while she told the stories of
\ntheir ancient people.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

So my dear teachers and my betters, I have decided to reactive my law
\nlicense, tell stories and engage the youth in discovery and preservation
\nof Aboriginal Cultures and the environment.<\/p>\n

I strongly prefer to base my presentations on your students\u2019 background
\nknowledge and align my work with your lessons, WI-DPI Standards and MPS
\nLearning Targets.<\/p>\n

My rate is negotiable, based upon number of presentations, set up time
\nand travel.<\/p>\n
