Mischief
September 23 - October 12, 2025
Scotiabank Studio Stage
Between mystical visits from an ancient ancestor, every-day life at her job at her Uncle's convenience store on the Rez, and her community rallying to tear down a statue of her city's founder, Brooke feels torn. She is struggling to reconcile her Mi'kmaw heritage and living in a place founded by a British military officer hell bent on destroying her ancestors.
Native Earth strives to operate in accordance with the Seven Sacred Teachings - also known as the Grandfather Teachings - which include Truth, Love, Respect, Bravery (Courage), Honesty, Humility, and Wisdom. These guide our decision-making and are embedded in all aspects of our work and mission.
We believe these teachings not only honour Indigenous knowledge systems and values, but also resonate universally - expressed in diverse ways across many cultures. At the same time, we recognize that these are subjective values, and we respect that each individual may interpret and embody them differently.
