Eagle's Laugh

Twenty years ago, composer John Cage premiered a composition called "Apartment House 1776" which brought together four cultures -- Native American, Jewish, African and White Anglo-Saxon Protestant -- and situated them under one roof. Makota (mah-KOH-tah) Little Eagle remembers her father, Swift Eagle, who was part of that production.
