A play by Jeremy Kisling.
Based on the story by Tolowa Mollel.
After refusing a weaver bird’s request, Princess Kalendi loses her beautiful hair and brings drought upon her kingdom. A kind beggar named Muoma sets out to find the bird and, through acts of compassion, earns a magical seed to help the princess. As Princess Kalendi learns to nurture the plant, her hair and the kingdom’s vitality are restored, leading her to recognize the value of empathy and selflessness.
