Artistic Director's Notes Welcome to the Belfry’s 39th season of exciting and thought- provoking theatre! Every season I like to include one play from the archives of Canadian theatre – and The Rez Sisters is a true Canadian classic. When it premiered 28 years ago, The Rez Sisters created a seismic shift in the landscape of theatre in this country, connecting First Nations’ writing with mainstream audiences. Tomson Highway’s remarkable play paved the way and a wealth of exceptional artists and plays have followed. I can think of no better director than Peter Hinton to bring this play to vibrant life. Together with this wildly talented cast – Reneltta Arluk, Tiffany Ayalik, Tasha Faye Evans, Waawaate Fobister, Cheri Maracle, Tracey Nepinak, Lisa Ravensbergen, and Tantoo Cardinal – for whom Tomson originally wrote one of the roles – I know that he will illuminate the beauty of this play, and revel in The Rez Sisters’ unique mix of realism and magic realism. Peter’s fantastic creative team includes choreographer Denise Clark – a recent recipient of the Order of Canada – designer Catherine Hahn, composer Troy Slocum, lighting designer Bonnie Beecher, and assistant director Ryan Cunningham, Artistic Director of Native Earth Performing Arts – the position that Tomson Highway held when he wrote The Rez Sisters. A true classic: as relevant today as when it was first performed. (For more thoughts on the play’s relevance, please see Tomson Highway’s article in our newly launched “Upstage” Magazine – available in the lobby.) Enjoy this vital and exuberant piece of theatre!

  • Nation with in a Nation in Tomson Highway's the Rez Sisters
    International Journal of English Literature and Social Sciences, 5(3) May-Jun 2020 |Available online: https://ijels.com/ Foreign and Reserve Life Hand in Hand: Nation with in a Nation in Tomson Highway’s The Rez Sisters Maggy Clemence B.ED, English (4th semester), Calicut University Teacher Education Centre, Koduvur, Palakkad, Kerala, India. Abstract— This papers focus on the dual existence of the concept of Nationality which is generally referred as the “Nation with in a Nation”. When we trace the early orgins of Canada, the result would be a wide separation of two cultures, the reserve culture and the foreign culture. One such division is further reflected in ‘The Res Sisters’ a famous work by Cree Canadian writer Tomson Highway. The plot revolves around the life of seven sisters who were subjected to reserve life. Their life wasn’t a bed of roses, their hurdles that was artificially created by the white immigrants .The play glorifies the rebellious attitude of the reserve ladies, the intervention of a male counterpart named Nanabush. Nanabush itself is the blurred conscious minds of the woman whose support heals their wounds. Race and ethnicity can also be implored further to stress the discrimination with in the Nation. Keywords— Nation with in a nation, Race and Ethnicity, Discrimination, Cultural Limitations. I. INTRODUCTION played the role as trickster.

  • Rather Than Imposing Thematic Unity Or Predefining a Common Theoretical
    The Supernatural Arctic: An Exploration Shane McCorristine, University College Dublin Abstract The magnetic attraction of the North exposed a matrix of motivations for discovery service in nineteenth-century culture: dreams of wealth, escape, extreme tourism, geopolitics, scientific advancement, and ideological attainment were all prominent factors in the outfitting expeditions. Yet beneath this „exoteric‟ matrix lay a complex „esoteric‟ matrix of motivations which included the compelling themes of the sublime, the supernatural, and the spiritual. This essay, which pivots around the Franklin expedition of 1845-1848, is intended to be an exploration which suggests an intertextuality across Arctic time and geography that was co-ordinated by the lure of the supernatural. * * * Introduction In his classic account of Scott‟s Antarctic expedition Apsley Cherry- Garrard noted that “Polar exploration is at once the cleanest and most isolated way of having a bad time which has been devised”.1 If there is one single question that has been asked of generations upon generations of polar explorers it is, Why?: Why go through such ordeals, experience such hardship, and take such risks in order to get from one place on the map to another? From an historical point of view, with an apparent fifty per cent death rate on polar voyages in the long nineteenth century amid disaster after disaster, the weird attraction of the poles in the modern age remains a curious fact.2 It is a less curious fact that the question cui bono? also featured prominently in Western thinking about polar exploration, particularly when American expeditions entered the Arctic 1 Apsley Cherry-Garrard, The Worst Journey in the World.

  • LINES and CIRCLES the "Rez" Plays of Tomson Highway
    LINES AND CIRCLES The "Rez" Plays of Tomson Highway Denis W. Johnston WriTHOUT QUESTION, the most important new Canadian playwright to emerge Уin thTITe Hlatter half of the 1980s has been Tomson Highway. In less than three years, and with only two major plays, Highway has joined a select group of playwrights whose new plays, sight unseen, are treated as significant cul- tural events by Canadian critics, scholars, and audiences. The two plays, The Rez Sisters and Dry Lips Oughta Move to Kapuskasing, both won the coveted Dora Mavor Moore award for the best new play produced in Toronto, the former for the 1986-87 season and the latter for 1988-89. Tomson Highway says his ambition in life, and therefore presumably in his plays, is "to make 'the rez' [reserve] cool, to show and celebrate what funky folk Canada's Indian people really are."1 In this, The Rez Sisters and Dry Lips Oughta Move to Kapuskasing have been wildly successful, attracting enthusiastic audiences, both white and Native, far beyond the real-life reserve where The Rez Sisters was conceived and first performed. To non-Native critics, myself included, Tomson Highway is an exotic new figure in Canadian theatre. Born on his father's trap-line in northern Manitoba, he spoke only Cree until going to a Catholic boarding school at age six. In high school in Winnipeg he became a musical prodigy, eventually earning university degrees in English and music while studying to be a concert pianist. After graduation, how- ever, Highway abruptly jettisoned his musical career and spent the ensuing seven years working with various Native support organizations.

  • Recovering Canada: the Resurgence of Indigenous Law
    RECOVERING CANADA: THE RESURGENCE OF INDIGENOUS LAW Canada is ruled by a system of law and governance that largely obscures and ignores the presence of pre-existing Indigenous regimes. Indige- nous law, however, has continuing relevance for both Aboriginal peoples and the Canadian state. In this in-depth examination of the continued existence and application of Indigenous legal values, John Borrows suggests how First Nations laws could be applied by Canadian courts, while addressing the difficulties that would likely occur if the courts attempted to follow such an approach. By contrasting and com- paring Aboriginal stories and Canadian case law, and interweaving polit- ical commentary, Borrows argues that there is a better way to constitute Aboriginal-Crown relations in Canada. He suggests that the application of Indigenous legal perspectives to a broad spectrum of issues will help Canada recover from its colonial past, and help Indigenous people recover their country. Borrows concludes by demonstrating how Indige- nous peoples' law could be more fully and consciously integrated with Canadian law to produce a society where two world-views can co-exist and a different vision of the Canadian constitution and citizenship can be created.

  • Children's Folk Music in Canada: Histories, Performers and Canons
    Children’s Folk Music in Canada: Histories, Performers and Canons ANNA HOEFNAGELS Abstract: In this paper the author explores the origins, growth and popularity of prominent children’s performers and their repertoires in English Canada from the 1960s-1980s, arguing that this period saw the formation of a canon of children’s folk music in Canada.Various factors that have supported the creation of a children’s folk music canon are highlighted, including the role of folk song collectors, folk singers, educational institutions, media outlets and the role of parents in the perpetuation of a particular canon of folk songs for children. ike many adults, I was rather uninterested in children’s music until I be- Lcame a parent. However, since the birth of my children, my family has been listening to and watching various performers who specialize in music for children. I am not unique in my piqued interest in this repertoire after the birth of my children; indeed many parents seek to provide a musical environ- ment for their children at home, both through songs and lullabies they may sing to their children, and by listening to commercial recordings made for young children. Early music educators recognize the importance of music in the development of young children, and the particular role that parents can have on their child’s musical development; as researchers Wendy L. Sims and Dneya B. Udtaisuk assert: Early childhood music educators stress the importance of pro- viding rich musical environments for young children. The intro- duction to MENC’s National Standards states, “The years before children enter kindergarten are critical for their musical develop- ment,” and infants and toddlers “should experience music daily while receiving caring, physical contact” (Music Educators Na- Hoefnagels: Children’s Folk Music in Canada 15 tional Conference, 1994).

Public Versus Private Initiative in Arctic Exploration: The Effects of Incentives and Organizational Structure Abstract From 1818 to 1909, 35 government and 57 privately-funded expeditions sought to locate and navigate a Northwest Passage, discover the North Pole, and make other significant discoveries in arctic regions. Most major arctic discoveries were made by private expeditions. Most tragedies were publicly funded. By other measures as well, publicly-funded expeditions performed poorly. On average, 5.9 (8.9%) of their crew members died per outing, compared to 0.9 (6.0%) for private expeditions.
