Who gets to be a member of a culture? Who decides who counts as a member? How can you explain that culture to an outsider? How much of our identity is constructed in opposition to someone else's? And how can we meld the contradictory parts of ourselves into a singular personhood? Narratively and even metatheatrically, Moses' play is an active exploration of these questions. A dense Native American history, explored through a twisting, often shocking plot.

An incredibly honest and poignant story about culture, identity, colonialism, and misogyny. Moses manages to tackle so many different themes in a way that doesn't feel cluttered! We need more plays that discuss Native culture, identity, and experiences like this one does. I found Ivy's journey towards learning about her family and culture incredibly soul-touching. For a full review go to "A Playwright's Journey" on SubStack.

A detailed, beautifully told, and rich story whose protagonist Ivy goes on a compelling and nuanced journey. The discussion of so many things ranging from adoption; definitions of family; huge questions about race, culture, identity; the identities and lives of Native folks in the US; and the ways the US has systematically betrayed those lives is seamlessly integrated into the story. Ivy's relationship with Tamara is one rarely seen onstage--one that illustrates someone feeling like an outsider to their identity and ways forward from that untethered state--and one that demands visibility.
