Stolen Sisters

Stolen Sisters is a one-woman show that centers around the lives and legacies of three Beothuk women and girls whose names have survived the historical record.

These are stories that have been mis-told, misrepresented, and mythologized by colonial interference. By shifting the lens of history to reflect Indigenous perspective and experience, the women brought to life in Stolen Sisters set the record straight, telling their own stories with both humour and unflinching honesty. Based on both the oral and written histories of colonization locally and worldwide, the voices of Stolen Sisters shines a light on the global experience of indigenous women and girls and, in particular, Newfoundland’s part in that legacy.
