TEASER VIDEO

Through memories of my childhood summers, embraced by the Kah-tep-was valley (Cree for river that calls), the vast prairie and gently rolling landscape has echoed its lasting impression and whispered a language of inspiration.

The two-kilometre wide, 180-metre deep valley is a sacred place that calls generations of peoples for gathering, hunting and spiritual replenishment.

Kisiskâciwan is a journey to one’s self. Conceived and performed by Jeanette Kotowich, in collaboration with Indigenous and non-indigenous artists, it speaks through dance to a Métis cultural narrative of identity, land and home.
