"The Arrow-Maker" by Mary Austin is a drama set in a Native American community, exploring themes of change, tradition, and the intersection of personal desires with communal responsibilities. The play opens with the community of Sagharawite facing the threat of war with the neighboring Castac tribe. The central conflict revolves around the selection of a new war leader, as the current chief, Rain Wind, is too old to lead in battle. The community is divided between choosing Simwa, the skilled Arrow-Maker, and Padahoon, a seasoned warrior. The Chisera, a medicine woman with a deep connection to the gods, is called upon to divine the will of the gods regarding the leadership choice. Simwa, who is romantically involved with the Chisera, seeks her support to secure his position as the war leader. The Chisera, torn between her duties to the tribe and her personal feelings for Simwa, uses her influence to sway the decision in his favor. As the play progresses, the complexities of power, love, and tradition are revealed, highlighting the challenges faced by individuals in balancing personal changes with the needs of their community. The narrative also delves into the role of women in this society, as seen through the interactions between the Chisera, the Chief's daughter Bright Water, and other female characters. The play concludes with the community preparing for the impending conflict, leaving the audience to ponder the outcomes of the choices made by its characters.

Even if the Chisera owned it, I would not believe it. (The men move in the direction of the merrymaking and are met by the younger people, laughing and shouting for Simwa. Padahoon watches them bitterly for a while, and, revolving many things, draws his blanket up and departs in the direction of the Chisera's hut.) Pamaquash Come, Arrow-Maker, a speech for your bridal. (Laughter and approval.) SlMWA (Drunk with popularity.) The war leader loves deeds rather than talking. Tavwots We have seen what your fighting is like. Give us a speech. Simwa Friends and tribesmen, the fortune of Simwa is Simwa. Does the Bear take weapons against the woodchuck, and shall the sons of the Bear make charms against their enemies? The spoil of Castac is in our camp (cheers) and our young men hunt within their borders. (Applause.) If any of the tribes inquire where are the fullest harvests, the fattest deer, the prettiest maidens (he flings his blanket about Bright Water), bid him look for the land of Simwa the ArrowMaker. (Shouts and laughter.) Young Men Come, now, a dance, a dance! Tavwots, dance for us! (The cries increasing, Tavwots is pushed forward to dance, others cry for PamaQuash and Yavi, who join Tavwots, laughing, to dance the blanket dance, all the others singing and keeping time with swaying bodies. The girls hover about the dancers, and as at certain points in the dance the Young Men attempt to cast their blankets about the heads of the girls, they duck and squeal.

In "The Arrow-Maker," Mary Austin intricately weaves a narrative that captures the essence of Native American life through the lens of love, sacrifice, and the deep connections between humans and nature. Written in an evocative and lyrical style, Austin employs rich imagery and profound symbolism to explore the conflict between indigenous traditions and encroaching modernity. Set against the backdrop of the American West, the book draws upon a blend of regionalist and modernist literary techniques, showcasing the tension between cultural preservation and progress while also reflecting the broader social and environmental issues of the early 20th century. Mary Austin, an early advocate for the rights and representation of Native Americans, was deeply influenced by her experiences growing up in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Her extensive travels and immersion in indigenous cultures informed her writing, allowing her to present an authentic and nuanced portrayal of their struggles and triumphs. Austin's commitment to environmentalism and social justice resonates throughout her work, revealing her desire to bridge the gap between disparate worlds through her storytelling. "The Arrow-Maker" is a poignant exploration of identity and belonging that will resonate with readers interested in the complexities of cultural intersection. By engaging with Austin's profound insights, readers can gain a deeper appreciation for the human experience and the timeless themes that bind us all, making this novel a vital addition to the literary canon.

Excerpt from The Arrow-Maker: A Drama in Three Acts The greatest difficulty to be met in the writing of an Indian play is the extensive misinformation about Indians. Any real aboriginal of my acquaintance resembles his prototype in the public mind about as much as he does the high-nosed, wooden sign of a tobacco store, the fact being that, among the fifty-eight linguistic groups of American aboriginals, customs, traits, and beliefs differ as greatly as among Slavs and Sicilians. Their very speech appears not to be derived from any common stock. All that they really have of likeness is an average condition of primitiveness: they have traveled just so far toward an understanding of the world they live in, and no farther. It is this general limitation of knowledge which makes, in spite of the multiplication of tribal customs, a common attitude of mind which alone affords a basis of interpretation.
