The Member Magazine for WTTW and WFMT Renée Crown Public Media Center 5400 North Saint Louis Avenue Chicago, Illinois 60625
With the holidays on the horizon, we know you are enjoying the new season of the heartwarming British drama Call the Midwife, inspired by Jennifer Worth’s memoirs and following the nurses, midwives, and nuns from Nonnatus House as they care for expectant mothers in London’s East End. This month, we’ll take you behind the scenes in Special Delivery, featuring the cast and crew who share their most memorable moments from this popular series that has love, family, and community at its heart. You can recap and stream the new season on wttw.com, and subscribe to our new Dramalogue enewsletter at wttw.com/dramalogue for the latest news on your favorite British dramas and mysteries. In November, we’ll commemorate Native American Heritage Month with featured content including the new documentary Searching for Sequoyah, which explores the life and legacy of the Cherokee leader. On page 4, read our interview with director/producer James Fortier, who grew up in the Chicago area. And don’t miss three films reflecting on Native American service in U.S. wars including D-Day Warriors: It Was Our War, Too; The People’s Protectors; and Trauma to Triumph: The Rise of the Entrepreneur – Survivors of War. Finally, we’ll premiere a new Independent Lens documentary: Home from School – The Children of Carlisle, which follows a delegation of Northern Arapaho tribal members on a quest to retrieve remains of children who died at Carlisle Indian Industrial School in the 1880s. WFMT will also mark Native American Heritage Month with a Thanksgiving night special, Healing Ceremony, a work by Marc Neikrug combining Native American rituals with music to induce a state of tranquility and equilibrium. Join us for a brief documentary followed by the performance featuring mezzo-soprano Susan Graham.

Q&A
Filming Winnie Guess Perdue (Sequoyah descendant) and Joshua Nelson as they discuss her lifelong career as a dancer, educator and "Beloved Edler" of the Cherokee Nation.
with the team behind Searching for Sequoyah By Daniel Hautzinger
On Sunday, November 21 at 11:00 am, WTTW airs Searching for Sequoyah, a documentary that explores the legacy and little-known life of Sequoyah, the visionary who created the Cherokee writing system despite being illiterate in any other language.
WTTW spoke to the documentary’s director and producer, James Fortier, who is Ojibway; co-producer and host/narrator Joshua B. Nelson, a citizen of the Cherokee Nation and professor of English at the University of Oklahoma; and producer and writer LeAnne Howe, a citizen of the Choctaw Nation and professor of English at the University of Georgia, Athens.

LeAnne Howe: Story comes through family, and I think the Native way is to think about what the family says. So we thought, “We’ve got to find some lineal descendants.” We knew we had to find people who were related and carried those stories. James Fortier: We thought that if we could bring the descendants into the storytelling itself, that would add a contemporary element that makes Sequoyah’s story come alive in the 21st century, and still be alive in the 21st century. And then of course there’s the whole search [for Sequoyah’s final resting place] in Mexico, which is a great mystery—everybody loves a good mystery. That’s actually the portion of his story that’s the least understood. My experience telling Native stories through documentaries in the past twenty-some years now is that there always seems to be a starting point where Native filmmakers are at a disadvantage because we have to educate nonNative people about our history and about our contemporary experiences Cherokee Nation citizen today before we can actually tell this James Greg Bilby as Sequoyah particular story. in Searching for Sequoyah.
unprecedented, but it took years working in Native literary studies to really start to appreciate the sweeping significance of that accomplishment. I think we didn’t know how to talk about how it was a big deal. I think of Einstein as a nice comparison. We know he’s a genius, that he revolutionized the world, but I couldn’t tell you exactly how, not living in the world of gravitational, physical considerations. With Sequoyah, I think it’s not until you get into considerations of how it is that language is sort of the repository of culture and coalesces people politically that we really start to appreciate the significance of his achievement. The Guide: What does it mean to you all coming from different tribes and nations, working with a mostly Native production team and having so many Native scholars and people in the film, to tell this story? Fortier: In every documentary that I’ve done, I’ve striven to bring in as many Native voices in the process of making the film as possible. Because I’m Ojibway and not Cherokee—I’m not even American, I’m Canadian—I wanted to involve as many Cherokees as possible, both in the development Photo: Karl W. Schmidt
The Guide: What are the challenges of telling the story of a figure who has become almost more a myth than a man, given the paucity of records about him?
Joshua B. Nelson: It’s certainly a challenge, and the way of meeting that challenge is to embrace it. Taking the mystery itself and moving that to the heart of the structure was, I think, a real stroke of genius on James and LeAnne’s part. It was precisely that kind of narrative approach that helped guide the film and move it along. When you’ve got a guy like Sequoyah who looms so large, to have these additional parts of his story fleshed out was just really enticing. The Guide: Growing up, how much did Sequoyah loom in your lives? How much did you know about him? Fortier: Being raised in the Chicago suburbs, separated from my dad’s culture in Canada, I obviously didn’t grow up surrounded by Sequoyah imagery or mythology. But I do recall learning of his basic story. That kind of stuck with me. And then, as I learned more about my dad’s Ojibway heritage in my thirties, I started doing my own research into not just Ojibway history and culture, but into a broader sense of what’s going on in Indian Country, because as a filmmaker, I wanted to do these kinds of films.
of the story and the research but on the set as well. [The animators are Joseph Erb (Cherokee Nation) and Jonathan Thunder (Red Lake Ojibwe), while the music is by Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate (Chickasaw) and Jennifer Kreisberg (Tuscarora).] I just feel that the more Native voices, even if they don’t have a direct hand in formulating the story, everything combines and the production takes on its own Native characterization.
The Guide: What aims did you have with the documentary other than The Guide: Joshua, in the documentary you say that you have come to admire “searching for Sequoyah” and telling his story? Sequoyah more than anyone else you have encountered in your scholarship. Why? Howe: The thing that we talked about pretty consistently is, “What will this film say to American Indians across the country? How will they benefit, and Nelson: There’s a personal element. I grew up in small-town Oklahoma, what will it mean?” The answer I tell myself is that American Indians think so where what we celebrate is football. We don’t celebrate intellectual many things are dead, because it’s what they’ve been taught in school. My accomplishments. I was terrible at football, but I was great at reading books. teachers in Oklahoma would say to me as a young person, “Oh, it’s too bad To have this alternative model for the things that we could value, particularly that by the time you’re grown, American Indians will all be dead.” What our in American Indian worlds, resonated powerfully with me over the years. film does is speak to the idea that nothing is ever truly dead, and that the people will live on. And he was always kind of an enigmatic hero. You never learn much more than that he invented the syllabary. We knew that that was a big deal and This interview has been condensed and edited for clarity. 2021

Anita Rachvelishvili
WFMT Opera Series: Carmen The Vienna State Opera recently presented Georges Bizet’s Carmen, one of the two or three most popular operas in the world. The production elicited from reviewers such descriptions as “gritty” and “hard-edged.” When it came to the work’s colorful music and its numerous vocal challenges, however, praise flowed. Anita Rachvelishvili sings the free-spirited title character, with stellar tenor Piotr Beczala portraying a conflicted, unstable Don Jose with an inclination to violence even before the climactic scene in Act 4. The Colombianborn conductor Andrés OrozcoEstrada leads the performance.

WFMT Opera Series: Peter Grimes Hear a mostly British cast, conducted by Ivor Bolton, in Benjamin Britten’s opera Peter Grimes at Madrid’s prestigious Teatro Real. Premiering shortly after World War II, the work was hailed as its nation’s first operatic masterpiece in centuries, and its success catapulted Britten to international fame. Tenor Allan Clayton plays the title role: a solitary fisherman who is brutal to his apprentices, yet has dreams of marrying the gentle schoolteacher Ellen Orford (soprano Maria Bengtsson), Among the best-known portions of the opera are the colorfully descriptive Sea Interludes that evoke the natural surroundings of the human drama.

Riccardo Muti
Chicago Symphony Orchestra Radio Series When CSO music director Riccardo Muti led a performance in 2019 of Mozart’s final masterwork, the Requiem in D Minor, he paired it with American composer William Schuman’s Symphony No. 9, subtitled Le Fosse Ardeatine (The Ardeatine Caves). The work commemorates a Nazi atrocity of 1944, in which hundreds of Italians were murdered in caves outside Rome. For the Mozart, the orchestra is joined by the CSO Chorus and a solo-vocal quartet. The program opens with a seldom-heard choral piece by Luigi Cherubini that memorializes Haydn.

Roberta Mantegna
WFMT Opera Series: Luisa Miller Verdi’s opera Luisa Miller, based on a tragedy by Schiller, premiered in Naples in 1849. Today, hear a concertstyle staging that took place earlier this year at the Rome Opera. Soprano Roberta Mantegna portrays Luisa, a village girl in love with Rodolfo, the son of the local Count (tenor Antonio Poli) who is in love with her, too, but of course he’s slated to marry someone else…of his father’s choosing. Then there’s Wurm – an excellent name for a villain – who tries to victimize Luisa, partially succeeding via harassments and threats. The conductor is Michele Mariotti.

Kevin Puts
WFMT Opera Series: Silent Night A native of St. Louis who grew up in Michigan, Puts was trained at the Eastman School of Music and Yale University. He now teaches at Baltimore’s Peabody Institute and serves as composer-in-residence for the Fort Worth Symphony. His opera Silent Night, with a libretto by Mark Campbell, won the 2012 Pulitzer Prize in Music, and was introduced the previous year by the Minnesota Opera. It recounts an event of World War I: the 1914 Christmas truce during which British, French, and German soldiers are said to have sung Christmas carols together.
