The Thanksgiving Play / What Would Crazy Horse Do? is a book by Larissa FastHorse, a Native American playwright and humorist. It contains two of her plays that explore the themes of identity, representation, and history through comedy and satire.

The Thanksgiving Play is about a group of white artists who try to create a culturally sensitive pageant for Thanksgiving, but end up exposing their own ignorance and biases. It is a hilarious critique of the white American mythology and the theater industry’s attempts to be “woke”.

What Would Crazy Horse Do? is about twins that are the last members of the Marahotah tribe, who plan to commit suicide as a grand jesture after their grandfather’s death. Their lives are disrupted when two white strangers, who claim to be members of the Klan, knock on their door. It is a dark and provocative exploration of the legacy of colonialism and the dangers of nationalism.
