No'Xya' (Our Footprints) (1987-1990)
A four year co-production with the Gitxsan and Wet'suwet'en Hereditary Chiefs that told the story of their relationship to ancestral land. NO` XYA` (Our Footprints) was first produced in the Kispiox Hall, in Kispiox BC and subsequently performed in Vancouver, toured extensively in BC, across Canada and into traditional Maori communities in New Zealand. In its small way, it helped pave the way for the now famous Delgamuxw Court Case that has redefined Native Rights in Canada.
