There are currently 39 federally recognized tribes in the State of Oklahoma. Pooper’s work pulls from the inter-tribal imagery that she saw as a child growing up in Miami, Oklahoma, home of the Inter-Tribal Council of The Eastern Shawnee, Miami, Modoc, Ottawa, Peoria, Quapaw, Seneca-Cayuga, Shawnee, and Wyandotte tribes. Combining animation, music and the body, her performance is part storytelling, part persona, and part comedy. With songs ranging from “Buffalo” to “Ham Dance”, the work is a power pop solo spectacle enjoyed by audiences of all ages.
