    [abstract] => The American Indian viewpoint of drama serves as a powerful means of delivering potent social and political messages. It is presumed that Indigenous playwrights mostly use the stage for entertainment; however, contemporary Indigenous playwrights chiefly use this platform for resilient acts of entertainment that, on closer inspection, offer sharp critiques of the problems before them. This paper attends to the works by Lynn Riggs, Hanay Geiogamah, and William S. Yellow Robe Jr. to get at the increasingly pertinent social and political messages of their plays. The issues raised by their works are truly significant and well-deserving of serious attention. The plays engage a number of pressing subjects: land dispossession, poverty, urban life, internalized racism, and critiques of the pretenders who impersonate Native identity. At the same time, what I find quite striking about the sociopolitical themes these three playwrights explore is that each of them approaches the subjects from a really different angle.
