The setup

A stagey history pageant restages the first meeting of Europeans and Indians in 1620, with the settlers as the peacemakers.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

Presented as a European History re-enactment on a cardboard forest stage, the sketch opens with two bored Indians who decide the cure for their boredom is torching every tree in the country. When two wigged European settlers row in offering friendship and then politely agree to leave, the Indians refuse every concession, invoke Satan, make lurid threats against Europe and insist on a fight. The reluctant settlers kneel to pray for forgiveness before taking up arms, while the Indians set the stakes: whoever loses must live on reservations forever, a twist that flips the real history on its head.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

I hate all these trees. We should chop them down and burn them.

We come in peace to share this land in harmony.

Now whoever loses has to go live on reservations. Forever.
