Something Inside Is Broken

Something Inside Is Broken

At the heart of something inside is broken is the story of two young lovers from the Nisenan Tribe. The story follows actual and created figures who were affected by Johann Sutter's methods of exploitation to build his fortune-making empire at Sutter’s Fort. Through story, song, and dance, the world-altering clash is brought to life.
