Stories from the Bush: The Woodland Plays of De-ba-jeh-mu-jig Theatre Group
compiled and edited by Joe Osawabine with Shannon Hengen
The work done by De-ba-jeh-mu-jig
Theatre makes a significant contribution to Aboriginal theatre, culture,
Canadian theatre and society as a whole. The six plays gathered here
were chosen based on their relevancy and significance to the Aboriginal
culture and identity, as well as the many milestones they provide in
the history of the company and the artistic growth of several of the
artists who are leading the artistic direction of the company today.
Among the plays in this collection are the first play to ever be professionally
produced in Ojibway, the first play created using the Four Directions
Creation Process and other works that focus on the foundation teachings
of Odawa Midewin, using traditional stories to create theatre and explore
modern themes on time-honoured values.
