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.
