“You may rely on it that without the Indians we never could keep this country and that with them [on the British side] the Americans never will take the upper posts…for in the woods, where the Americans must past, one Indian is equal to three white men.” – Canadian Militia Officer John Askin to Judge William D. Powell, Jan. 25, 1813
Join the Kaha:Wi Dance Theatre during a multi-disciplinary performance that pays homage to First Nations warriors of the War of 1812.
Audiences will be immersed in a history that is rarely experienced anywhere else and will have the opportunity to understand the complexity of the War of 1812 through the experiential lens of First Nations, offering a human face to our history. All First Nations took part in the War of 1812 as sovereign Nation allies to Britain. The Honouring pays homage to their personal sacrifices and belief in what was the best for their family, community and future generations.
Come to the lobby of our SCAET Wing on March 15, 2017 from 12:00pm to 1:00 pm for a prelude of The Honouring followed by a brief Q&A session with the visionary artists who brought this project to fruition. For further Pop-up event information, click here.
