We Treaty People - Introduction

We Treaty People

Welcome to We Treaty People. Digital audio plays from a diverse group of artists exploring the question, “What does it mean to embrace all our relations?”

In this episode get a taste of what's in store as we share snippets from these four plays in our series:

The Yard With the Old Plow by Shanda Stefanson, featuring Lisa Bayliss*, Alan Long*, and Aren Okemaysim, directed by Joel Bernbaum*.

Flag by Yvette Nolan, featuring Jared Beattie and Krystle Pederson, directed by Roxanne Dicke.

You Said We’d Be Together Forever by Amanda Trapp, featuring Andrea Folster and Ed Mendez, directed by Johanna Arnott.

Remnance by Curtis Peeteetuce, featuring Joshua Beaudry* and Kristina Hughes*, directed by Danny Knight.

Narration by Amanda Trapp and Tim Bratton, original music by Darryl Dozlaw, Jordan Daniels, Marc Okihcihtaw and Donny Speidel, sound design and audio production by Tim Bratton, and production dramaturgy by Yvette Nolan.

Gratefully created on Treaty 6 Territory and the traditional homeland of the Métis.
