The play was written in 2015, and inspired by Reinholz's wife and co-founder of the Native Voices theatre company at the Autry Museum of the American West, Jean Bruce Scott.
Reinholz utilizes specific projection images and traditional Native American tribal songs and language in the script of the play in order to make a political statement about the horrors of Indian boarding schools.
Set in the mid 1880s, the play opens with an active main street featuring an Indian boarding school/jail, Stewed Prunes Saloon, and brothel.
It is revealed that Caitlin is pregnant with Momaday’s child and the couple have been married in ‘Pawnee way’, rather than Christian ceremony, thereby casting their intercourse as an unlawful act in Genoa.
Act I, Scene I begins with Lady Overdone’s Saloon filled with raucous people polishing their routines for the upcoming auditions for Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show.
McDonald expresses the urgency of the apparently missing Kiowa boys and Potowatomi girls that have escaped the ghastly boarding school and its terrible conditions, to which General Gatt responds with more railroad excitement.
General Gatt reveals to the town the exciting news of the upcoming railroad, as well as promising improvements to the destructive boarding school.
The production directed by Chris Anthony opened at the Wells Fargo Theater at the Autry National Center of the American West in Los Angeles and ran from February 27 – March 15, 2015.
