As the Sun Sets in the West....

The still of the Northwoods is caressed by the over-
ture as dusk descends on the theatre. ...silence....
then the Viking Scout’s horn shatters the quiet and
the legend begins. The cadence of the oars-

men is heard and the approaching Vik-

ing! ship breaks into view. Oars dip,

pull and propel the boat to shore

and hearty Norsemen disembark.

Swords ring, spear and scramasax

clash as the Viking battle cry

blends with a crescendo of sound

and furious action. Vikings and

the Dakotah Indians do battle

with a common enemy, the

Sahiela, and then combine

their efforts to heal the phy-

sical wounds of battle and

gain a better understand-

ing of each other's

spiritual values.

The story deals with the incursion of the Norseman
into the wooded territories of Minnesota. The myth-
ical happenings which took place before recorded

history tell how the invaders met, conquered and in
turn were conquered by early Indians of this region.

VIKING! is’a portrait of the animosity that man has
had for man throughout history, yet it is also a tender
love story which brings lovers together over the
clamor of battle and through a trackless wilderness.
The compassionate healing power of Sulani, the

Dining....

Each night delectable dining is avail-
able prior to the show either cafeteria
style or by reservation in the formal
dining room. At the conclusion of the
show, desserts and coffee are available,
as well as your favorite beverage in
the lounge.

Indian maiden, brings her lover Hrolf, the Viking,
back from certain death. Together they stand sym-
bolically for the dignity of all men, as Sulani and
Hrolf are victorious over the threat of the marauding
Sahiela and their leader Laughing Dog. They live to
join together and provide offspring who testify to the
fact that the Vikings were here! Perhaps they provide
an answer to the mystery of the origin of the fair
haired blue-eyed Mandan Indians discovered here by
early explorers some 600 years later.
