Berkshire Arts & Technology Charter Public School: Native American Actor Brings History To Life at BART
ADAMS, Mass. — Native American actor and activist Annawon Weeden brought his one-man show to Berkshire Arts and Technology (BArT) Public Charter School, confronting students with a challenging and visceral journey through American history.
“This performance is called ‘First Light Flashback,’ where I hand-carry individuals like yourselves and walk you through the history, the emotions, and the struggles,” Weeden said after the performance on Feb. 11. “These are some of the lowest points in humanity … it is an emotional rollercoaster.”
Weeden, of the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe, is a consultant, presenter, and performing artist. He is the director of the First Light Foundation, which offers educational and historic programming aimed at amplifying indigenous voices and stories.
