WHERE HAVE ALL THE BUFFALO GONE (AP) Tuesday, October 29, 2024 at 1:00 PM PDT

From acclaimed Vancouver-based youth theatre company Axis Theatre comes Where Have All the Buffalo Gone? The story follows two Métis souls through seven different periods of Métis history. We witness the emergence of the Métis nations across the plains, the fur trade to the Riel Rebellion, the disappearance of the buffalo to World War I and Residential Schools, the Great Depression and The Indian Act. The story begins during creation amongst the stars and ends in present day.

The production shares scenarios from the Callihoo family’s stories, incorporating fiddle music, jigging, and a life-size buffalo puppet. Inspired by historical events of the Métis people of Canada, this original play for young audiences explores the loves, losses, and fight of Treaty 6 Métis people - and their love and kinship with the buffalo.
