"...Exploring their dispossession, like a Down Under Anna Deavere Smith in various vignettes Ms. Deemal brings vividly alive harrowing tales of children being torn away from their parents by a paternalistic white state to be "educated" Western-style. If North America's First Peoples can related to that harrowing history, African Americans can share outrage and solidarity with Aboriginals confronted by police brutality and the school-to-prison-pipeline. Aboriginal Lives Matter, too, and Ms. Deemal singlehandedly enacts mass demonstrations, marches and protests with some bravura thespianism."

"...But the text itself remains something of a patchwork, less tightly woven and comprehensive than one might wish it to be. And the performance I observed, while ably performed, bore the stamp of one presented many times before, without the fresh keen edge that would keep it memorable."
