Running Wolf, Myrton http://www.myspace.com/sacinaw	Blackfeet	NYU - Graduate Alumni, Tisch School of the Arts - Performance Studies	Myrton Wesley Running Wolf received his Masters in Performance Studies from Tisch School of the Arts at New York University in 2008.  A tuition scholarship award winner to the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in 1996 and a Master of Fine Arts graduate in film production from the University of Southern California in 2003, his interests include the marginalization and overt romantic depictions of Native Americans in mainstream media, the cultural politics of accessibility to feature film, broadcast television, and Broadway theater, critical race theory, and religious studies.  More broadly, he is interested in the transition period from 1875–1915 when the myth of Native America ceased to be anthropologic in nature and shifted to Third World politics.  His final Performance Studies Masters project at NYU, titled Carlisle – a different three sisters, was an adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s The Three Sisters set at the infamous paramilitary assimilation academy, the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, in the year 1913 just prior to America’s involvement in World War I.
