   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
