Yuchewahkenh (Bitter) - Native Voices 2021 First Look

This event is no longer on sale.

Saturday October 2

11:00 AM  –  2:00 PM

 

When Myra Henhawk's sister goes missing, she flatly refuses to believe it. The girls have been "good." They went to the city and created a fresh new life. They're not the people who go missing. Myra clings to her denial until Bad Mind intervenes and shows Myra that there is no easy answer and no magic solution. The system is rigged, and Ellie is missing.
