Omaagomaan, choreographed and performed by Waawaate Fobister, is a powerful dance-theatre work presented by Native Earth Performing Arts. Drawing from Anishinaabe cosmology, Fobister embodies a two-spirit, shape-shifting entity confronting the legacy of mercury poisoning in Grassy Narrows. Through movement, sound, and storytelling, the performance explores the collision of the maanaadizi (ugly) and the onishishin (beautiful), offering an urgent reflection on resilience, identity, and ecological harm.
