COLLECTION SUMMARY
The Native American Women Playwrights Archive (NAWPA) is a collection of original materials by
Native women playwrights of the Americas. NAWPA hopes to identify playwrights, collect and
preserve their work, try to make it widely known, and encourage performances and continued
creativity. This collection includes manuscripts and plays as well as production materials such as
programs, posters, flyers, photographs, correspondence, articles, and audio visual materials. The
collection also includes materials relating to the archives such as correspondence and administrative
documents, as well as materials relating to conferences and events sponsored by the archive. NAWPA
is also a repository for Spiderwoman Theatre.
SCOPE AND CONTENTS OF THE COLLECTION
The collection features the works of various Native American women playwrights, including Diane
Glancy, Judy Lee Oliva, Hortensia and Elvira Colorado, and Victoria Kneubuhl and many others.
Many of the plays found in the archive are unpublished and available only in manuscript form.
Accompanying many of the manuscripts are materials relating to various productions of a particular
play, such as programs, flyers and posters, audio/video recordings, and reviews/articles.
NAWPA welcomes playwrights at any level of development and the archive is continuously growing
and expanding as it adds new work and playwrights.
The archive serves as a repository for Spiderwoman Theatre and houses many original materials,
including items pertaining to the legal dispute with Marvel Comics over the Spiderwoman name,
histories and biographies of the group and its members, articles, and interviews. The archive also
contains a large collection of photographs, including photographs of performances and
appearances, as well as childhood and family photographs.
Spiderwoman Theatre is the country’s longest running women’s performance group, founded in
1976 by Lisa Mayo, Gloria Miguel, and Muriel Miguel, three Native American sisters of
Rappahannock and Kuna heritage. The group has included various other performers throughout its
history, most notably the Colorado sisters. Spiderwoman Theatre has held workshops and
residencies as well as performances in venues and festivals all over the world. The group uses a
specific working technique they call storyweaving, which is “creating designs and weaving stories
with words and movement.”
The collection houses the various plays written and performed by Spiderwoman Theatre including
Women in Violence; The Lysistrata Numbah; Winnetou’s Snake Oil Show From Wigwam City;
Cabaret: An Evening of Disgusting Songs and Pukey Images; and Sun, Moon, and Feathers, as well as
many others. Most of the Spiderwoman Theatre manuscripts found in the archive do not contain
the plays in their entirety, but are rather a collection of bits and pieces scattered throughout the
hand written partial scripts and working personal notebooks of the group. The collection also
contains materials relating to the various plays, including promotional materials and posters,
programs from different performances, production photographs, articles/reviews, and several taped
performances.
Also found in the archive are materials relating to festivals and events in which Spiderwoman
Theatre participated, such as Festival of Fools, Festival Mondial du Theatre, and Humora. These
materials include programs, posters, and articles/reviews.
The collection also houses a few materials relating to individual works and performances by
members of Spiderwoman Theatre, including items such as a program from a performance of
Grandma and Grandpa directed by Muriel Miguel, and a flyer for a performance of Lizzie & Lisa, a
one woman show by Lisa Mayo.
The rest of the collection is made up of materials relating directly to the formation and
administration of the archive. Items in this portion of the collection include NAPWA advisory board
notes and correspondence, forms, brochures, finance reports, mailing lists and website information.
Materials pertaining to NAWPA sponsored events, including conferences, readings, and residencies
are included as well. These items include planning documents, correspondence, financial
information and receipts, travel materials and any other documents pertinent to the planning and
execution of the event, as well as several audio and video tapes of performances and discussion
sessions.
The archive concludes with a selection of additional resources, including publications and periodicals
pertaining to Native American theater, book lists and catalogs for Native American literature
resources, newsletters, brochures, and promotional materials from other Native American
organizations, and materials from Native American men playwrights.
ORGANIZATION OF THE COLLECTION
This collection is divided into three sections. The first section, playwrights, is organized
alphabetically by playwright’s surname. The materials are arranged by type, then alphabetically by
title of play. The second section, Spiderwoman Theatre, is organized by material type, then
alphabetically by play or event. The third section, NAWPA general, is organized by material type,
then chronologically by conference or event.
