Something I Said-Marcie Rendon, Tireless And Multi-Tasking Native American Author
Something I Said - Marcie Rendon
Dwight Hobbes
Mpls/St. Paul Magazine archives "I try to create a mirror for native people. A lot of writers attempt to explain native culture to non-natives [instead of] creating" a picture of ourselves for ourselves", says author-playwright Marcie Rendon (White Earth Anishinabe). "The idea that we no longer exist is so prevalent. To the point that we sometimes doubt our existence [and] become ‘invisibilized' to ourselves. I hope to hold out a present day reality." Said hope rests in accomplished hands. Rendon's drama, SongCatcher premiered at The Great American Theater (1998) and, in 2003, appeared in the anthology "Morning Star: An Anthology of Native Women's Theater" (UCLA American Indian Studies Center). It looks at 1800s anthropologist Frances Densmore's study of Indians – through a cultural lens, the lives of a contemporary native couple. Her award-winning children's book Pow wow Summer (Carolrhoda-1996) authentically conveys the ceremony – debunking whooping, head-bobbing pre-Dances With Wolves stereotypes. Marcie reflects, "When my grandson says ‘We're not real Indians because real Indians wear feathers, you know something still is not right. Native people need to hold out to ourselves and our children that we exist." From 1996 through 2003 her satires Free Fry Bread (Minnesota Fringe Festival, Bryant Lake Theatre), As the Spiritual World Turns (Patrick's Cabaret) and Urban Rez (Eye of the Storm Theatre) were produced. As was her play Sacagawea, chronicling the historic Lewis & Clark Expedition scout (Fargo-Moorhead Community Theatre). The Farmer's Market: Families Working Together (CarolRhoda-2001) and Pow wow Summer won the Wisconsin Library Association Outstanding Book Award). And there are awards, including the l998–1999 St. Paul Company's Leadership in Neighborhoods (LIN) award and a Playwrights Center/Jerome Fellowship in 1997. She has published articles in the Minneapolis StarTribune, St. Paul Pioneer Press, Minnesota Women's Press and Native American monthly The Circle. Part of her imperative is to empower other voices. Accordingly, she founded the ensemble Raving Natives Theatre to employ other native authors, directors, actors and technicians. And has mentored at The Playwrights Center, SASE: the Write Place and Intermedia Arts. Spotting her in, say, a theatre lobby, "playwright" doesn't come straight to mind. More like "biker chick" – with her lustrous mien of black hair, short leather jacket, snug jeans and long boots. In fact, she loves few things more than hunching over a pool table with a cue stick. Wherever she is, whatever she's doing, there's usually a wizened gaze and a warm smile. An enrolled member of the White Earth Reservation, she grew up rural areas of northern Minnesota surrounding White Earth and holds an MA degree from St. Mary's of Winona – Minneapolis. At 53, she has three grown daughters, Rachael, Awanewquay and Simone, who acts at Raving Natives Theatre. Based in Minneapolis, Marcie's often on the road, speaking and leading workshops in Canada and around the U.S. Next up, she's published this month in "Traces in Blood, Bone, and Stone: Contemporary Ojibwe Poetry" (Loonfeather Press). What does she do in-between projects that pay her mortgage? "You mean", she says, "besides stay in bed and pull the covers over my head?"

Sacagawea: A Biography $22.63 Sacagawea, kidnapped as an adolescent and sold as a slave to a French-Canadian fur trader, is best known for her role as interpreter and symbol of goodwill for Lewis and Clark on their journey west. Despite her pivotal role in this era of Manifest Destiny and blending cultures, much of her ensuing life story remains uncertain, thanks to a larger focus on Lewis and Clark themselves, as well as the perpetuation of legend over fact in several 20th century movies and publications. This concise and readable biography offers an objective treatment of Sacagawea's childhood, her journey with Lewis and Clark, her later life, her explorer son, and the mythology surrounding her death and legacy. As the Lewis and Clark expedition is heavily represented in the U.S. history curriculum, this much-needed volume fills a gap on the reference shelves and supplements American history and Native American studies curricula. Lively narrative chapters are supplemented with a timeline, photos, print and nonprint bibliography, and an index. As the Lewis and Clark expedition is heavily represented in the U.S. history curriculum, this much-needed volume fills a gap on the reference shelves and supplements Native American studies curricula. The subject matter directly supports the National Standards for U.S. history Era 4: Expansion and Reform (1801-1861). Lively narrative chapters are supplemented with a timeline, photos, print and nonprint bibliography, and an index. |
