Join us for a powerful and moving performance that delves into the life of Chief Vincent Yellow Old Woman. This heartfelt story recounts his painful yet inspiring journey from childhood in a residential school to reclaiming his heritage and ultimately becoming the Chief of his people. The performance is a tribute not only to Chief Yellow Old Woman but also to the strength of those affected by the residential school system.

Each of the Blackfoot cast members shares their personal connection to this legacy, with many recounting how they, their parents, or their grandparents were victims of residential schools. Their stories of resilience and healing are woven throughout the performance, offering a profound reflection on reconciliation.

The show features a unique blend of original poetry, including the poignant “The Indian in the Child,” music by Peter Gabriel, and a mix of contemporary and traditional Indigenous dance. This is more than just a performance — it’s a celebration of culture, survival, and the enduring spirit of a community.
