Summary:
"Come along for the ride to
Kamloopa
, the largest Powwow on the West Coast. This high-energy
Indigenous
matriarchal
story
follows two urban
Indigenous
sisters and a lawless Trickster who face our postcolonial world head-on as they come to terms with what it means to honour who they are and where they come from. But how to go about discovering yourself when Christopher Columbus allegedly already did that? Bear witness to the courage of these women as they turn to their Ancestors for help in reclaiming their power in this ultimate transformation
story
. In developing matriarchal relationships and shared
Indigenous
values,
Kamloopa
explores the fearless love and passion of two
Indigenous
women reconnecting with their homelands, Ancestors, and stories. Kim Senklip Harvey's play is a boundary-blurring adventure that will remind you to always dance like the Ancestors are watching.
Kamloopa
: An
Indigenous
Matriarch
Story
is the work of Kim Senklip Harvey, a proud
Indigenous
woman from the Syilx, Tsilhqot'in, Ktunaxa, and Dakelh First Nations, listed for the Gina Wilkinson Prize for her work as an emerging director and widely considered to be one of this land's most original voices among the next generation of
Indigenous
artists. "Here. Us. We are here. Daughters. Sisters. We are the mountains, the rivers, the sky, the animals, the wind, the breath of our worlds. These are the pathways connecting us to you. We are the Land, our home for you to return to, together." --as spoken by the play's Ancestral Syilx Matriarchs."
