Crossing Mnisose

Portland Center Stage
128 NW Eleventh Avenue Portland

Crossing Mnisose ("minne-show-she") tells the story of one of America's first feminists, Sacajawea, and draws a line from a completely original view of Lewis and Clark to the present day, as descendants of the Dakota and Lakota Nations continue their fight for the Mnisose (or what Europeans renamed the Missouri River) and the lands that serve as the burial grounds of their ancestors.
