(Pardon the rather belated review, please. The Crippled Critic is now also (rather unexpectedly,) the Crippled College Student once again, after a long absence.)
"Where We Belong" is the best kind of show: The kind that tells you something you completely did not know. Everyone knows about the horrific treatment of Native Peoples, in a broad-sense. But, I had no inkling whatsoever that the British Museum has unlabeled human-remains in storage, and has actively resisted returning them to tribes who have made a a claim.
That's disgusting, on every level.
That's far from the only tidbit of nauseating-knowledge that "Where We Belong" will impart in its lean 80 minutes.
Yet amid these disturbing details, there is also a story of Shakespearean Scholarship, through a Native lens, and that too is much more interesting than one might initially expect.
You'll learn a lot, (some of which, you might wish you hadn't.)
