Swander details her interactions with both the people of the Amana Colonies and the Meskwaki Settlement. These two groups, wanting nothing more than to remain hidden from the outside world, had a positive experience together in the early settlement days-all the while genocide whirled around them. Laura Hudson Kittrell sings Manifest Destiny. Rip Russell gives a short excerpt from the play. Brant Bollman, the director, speaks about the puppetry in the performance.\n\nConnect with us on our new Substack pages where you will see photos and extras from the podcast:\nMary Swander's Buggy Land\n\nmaryswander.substack.com\n\nAnd Mary Swander's Emerging Voices, showcasing young, diverse writers on current topics:\nswander.substack.com\n\nBecome a premium member of our podcast Mary Swander's Buggy Land and gain access to bonus interviews, books, postcards, and poetry critiques.
