    STOLEN SISTERS is a one woman show that centers around the lives and legacies of three Beothuk women and girls whose names have survived in historical
    record - and whose stories have been mistold, misrepresented, and
    mythologized by colonial interference.

    By shifting the lens of history to reflect Indigenous perspective and experience these women set the record straight, telling their own stories
    with both humor and unflinching honesty. Based on the oral and written histories of colonization locally and world-wide, these women shine a light
    on the global experiences of Indigenous women and girls, and Newfoundland’s part in that legacy.

    The play is written and directed by Leahdawn Helena and stars Deantha Edmunds as all three women.

    It is playing in St. John’s, Newfoundland from August 15--27, 2023
    but then I think it may go on tour.

    For more information and to purchase tickets (note that it is free
    for self-identifying indigenous) see the website https://www.persistencetheatre.com/stolen-sisters.html
