at the National Arts Centre in Spring 2013. The work is based on the original production
commissioned and produced by Presentation House Theatre.In 1930, photographer Edward Curtis’ landmark series, The North American Indian, recorded
for posterity what he termed a “vanishing people”. Decades later, Metis/Dene playwright Marie
Clements and Canadian documentary photographer Rita Leistner went in search of those
same First Nations peoples and communities. Their three-year journey has become a visually
stunning, thought-provoking drama. Present-day Aboriginal journalist Angelina – traumatized by
chronicling the freezing death of three Native children – interacts with Curtis’ photo images and
the controversial man himself, questioning the ethics of her work and assessing the collateral
damage of being a witness.Marie Clements, is an award-winning playwright, screenwriter, performer, director, and producer,
and is Simon Fraser University’s Ellen and Warren Tallman Writer-in-Residence for Fall-Winter
