The Absence
by Neva Hutchinson
with
Clint McKay (Dry Creek Pomo, Wappo and Wintun) and Jack Kohler (Hupa, Yurok, Karuk), collaborators.
Neva embarks on a powerful and moving journey to uncover the truth behind the brutal murders of two young Pomo Indian women on Route 162 in Northern California.
Guided by her mentor, renowned playwright Anthony Clarvoe, Neva delves deep into the dark and painful past of the Pomo people, uncovering secrets that have been buried for far too long.
Her new play, "The Absence", is not only a poignant reminder of the atrocities of the past, but also a call to action for present-day justice and healing. This powerful full-length play is for anyone seeking to understand and honor the legacy of the Pomo people.
