Cheechoo has been directing films since 1998 and was named Independent Filmmaker of the Year in 2002 at the Arizona National Film Festival.

All of the authors in North American Indian Drama represent groups across the United States and Canada, including Cherokee, Métis, Creek, Choctaw, Pembina Chippewa, Ojibway, Hawaiian/Samoan, Comanche, Cree, Navajo, Rappahannock, and others.  A significant number of the plays have never been published before.
