About the Program
The First Nations Performance Series was the third annual performance series organized by grunt gallery, running from September 10 to 20, 1992. Through contemporary Indigenous expression in performance, it functioned as a stage for representing the history and concerns of Indigenous peoples. Drawing on a diversity of practices and the talents of many local artists, the series featured an opening cabaret event and solo performances by Margo Kane, Zachery Longboy, Marie Humber, Âhasiw K. Maskêgon-Iskwêw, Thom E. Hawke, Dana Claxton, Michelle Thrush, and Annie Frazier. Many of the performances addressed the influence of Indigenous heritage on contemporary identity and the lingering stereotypes and histories of injustice that form the central challenges of living in a white-dominated society.Artist
