Join us for the premiere of an evocative new work crafted by Jessie Award-winning playwright Tai Amy Grauman. Drawing inspiration from the experiences of Métis women in her own family, known as the Callihoos, this production is brought to life by Savage Society. Through the journey of Iskwewo, Napew, and Mistatim, we delve into eight interconnected tales of love, loss, and the Métis people’s resilience amidst the fur trade’s colonization of the plains. From poignant love stories to the political upheavals of the 1930s and beyond, we witness the Callihoos’ unwavering commitment to protecting their community and asserting their Métis identity. Join us as we celebrate the enduring strength and sovereignty of Métis women across generations.
