The wild horse Mistatim, center of the Red Sky Performance drama of that name, brings about understanding between a daughter of the reservation and a rancher’s son and inspires neighbors to learn to respect the rights of the formerly oppressed. The themes of reconciliation and cultural survival can be found throughout this issue.
Falciony Patiño Cruz dances the part of Mistatim. He is wearing a horse mask that Karen Rodd designed.

RED SKY’S COSMIC DANCE A national spotlight falls on Anishinaabe skylore this summer as Toronto-based Red Sky Performance presents the U.S. premiere of its production “Trace” at the prestigious Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival in the western Massachusetts Berkshires. It will be a high point for the 19-year career of Red Sky founder Sandra Laronde (Teme-Augama Anishinaabe) and will recognize the long intersection of Native tradition and modern dance.

THE IDOL OF PATANA When archaeologist Mark Harrington found an engraved deity on a stalagmite and removed it from its cave in Cuba in 1915, he shed light on the cosmology of the Caribbean Taíno people. However, he also created an international dispute that still lives on.
