content: Theodore Gonzalves (presenter); Karen Vallejos; Esther Lee; Ray Guzman; Samuel Orozco (participants) Staged reading of an excerpt from Preston J. Arrow-weed's play "Horse Hair and the Frog," which imagines a conversation between the historical figure of Horse Hair (a Quechan warrior) and Frog (the daughter of Kumat, the Creator). Preston J. Arrow-weed is a Kamya-Quechan educator, environmentalist, actor, playwright, and tribal singer. His work as a playwright is grounded in his deep and comprehensive understanding of Quechan tribal songs, history, and ceremony.
