Press notes describe the show as follows: "Born in the Indian territories before the massacre at Wounded Knee, before the emasculation of the full-blown reservation system, Jim Thorpe was the last of a generation of Native Americans to know an America that is gone forever. With a score by Grammy Award-winning songwriter Marcus Hummon, Warrior is the story of America's tragic inability to come to grips with the inclusion of its native population."
