About

Moccasins and Microphones explores the fascinating world of a dynamic team of indigenous youth writers from the Santa Fe Indian School (SFIS) in New Mexico. This documentary journeys with the SFIS Spoken Word Team as the core group prepares and presents a theater production of their finest poems woven with traditional and contemporary song and dance. The young SFIS poets continue the ancient tradition of Native storytelling through the powerful new medium of performance poetry.
