Looking For American Indian Themed Skits

[jw_elder77 10]

Our pack has it's Blue and Gold banquet the 1st Saturday in June since February and march is so busy. This year we are using an American Indian theme for the banquet. I'm trying to find a skit for my Wolves to perform that does not play to typical stereotypes. I know I'm asking a lot here, but I'd like to find a skit that is funny and thought provoking also.

 

Thanks in advance.

"The Legger Snake and the Googly Frog" is a skit for boys from The Birch Bark Roll of the Woodcraft League. This is the Woodcraft Indians handbook by Ernest Seton, from which Baden-Powell copied some of his material for Scouting for Boys.

 

This is not the pun and "put-down" humor that we now associate with Scout skits, but if you have a talented "snake head" and fat boy, it can be very humorous and thought-provoking as well. It may be easier for the two boys to remember their lines if they recite them with a rap beat.
