Larissa FastHorse is a playwright and member of the Sicangu Lakota Nation. Her plays combine drama and satire to portray Native American experiences. Larissa’s work called “The Thanksgiving Play” is about a group of well-meaning white educators who are tasked with creating a politically correct school pageant about the first Thanksgiving. Larissa appeared at a virtual National Writers Series event. She spoke with Cynthia Canty, former host of Michigan Radio’s “Stateside.” Ruth Ware says the most interesting thing about her is her books.
