Indian Head Luna Stage , 555 Valley Road , West Orange
When a Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape teen is caught vandalizing property in protest of the school ’ s Indian mascot , her mother cuts a deal to help her atone with the school . But when their tribe ’ s traditions clash with the championship bound high school football team ’ s , the two worlds are left wondering how - or if - they can co-exist . Indian Head asks us to take a hard , honest look at how we appropriate culture and the ways in which we honor and exploit tradition . Luna Stage presents this World Premiere by Nikkole Salter from February 2 to March 5 .
