S7, E4, Pt 3: They Called Her “Savage”: Nicolette Blount, Chickasaw on Savage the Musical
Manage episode 438711722 series 3410315
Part 3
They called her “savage”. She was a tough, independent and widowed single mother, attempting to succeed during a time when women were just starting to have a voice (although many Native women were still very much unheard).
Join me and my guest, Nicolette Blount as she delves into the stories of her great grandmother, Wanda Savage, a 1920s Chickasaw sharpshooter, stunt woman, dancer and silent film actress!
And Nicolette has beautifully turned Wanda’s story into a show called, “Savage the Musical” and it’s gaining fast acclaim!
This is the story of survival, the universal desire to be accepted and a quest for redemption that you must hear!
