MEDICINE MEN Scene: Indian reservation on the shores of the Muddymack in the year 1965. Four medicine men: Willywam, Deer Moon, Laughing Ache, and Dashing Day are rhythmically dancing to the hypnotic beat of tomtoms around a campfire. The tomtoms suddenly come to an end. The eerie movements cease. Willywam: Ugh. Laughing Ache: Ugh. Deer Moon: Ugh. Dashing Day: Ugh. All: Ugh. Willywam: I see a strange vision leaping from the depths of the dancing flames. Three: Ugh! Laughing Ache: They are phantom faces. Three: Ugh! Deer Moon: My eyes have seen these images in the hollows of the past. Three: Ugh. Dashing Day: These are our lost tribesmen who have ventured from the reservation on the Muddymack to the depths of the mysteri- ous unknown. All: Ugh!
