Historical Storyteller, Darrel Draper, performing “George Drouillard: Hunter, Interpreter, and Indian Sign-Talker for Lewis and Clark”
Drouillard (1774-1810), half French and half Shawnee Indian, was one of the most valuable members of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Whenever the two Captains needed someone who could: shoot straight, talk to Indians who had never seen white men before, provide the 400 lbs. of game needed each day, bring back a deserter, or stand his ground in the face of a wounded and raging grizzly bear...they almost always choose this amazing frontiersman.
Adapted from the James Alexander Thom novel, Sign-Talker, this 45-minute presentation, in full costume and French accent, gives the audience a taste of Shawnee culture and spiritualism as its membrs join Drouillard in the excitement of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
Appropriate for children in Grade 3 and older. A MN Arts and Cultural Heritage program...
