Where Have All the Buffalo Gone?

Recommended Audience: 9+

Two star people and a Buffalo, fall to earth and continue to reconnect throughout history. Where Have All The Buffalo Gone? explores seven different periods of Métis history, beginning during creation amongst the stars and ending in the present day, sharing stories from the Callihoo family, and incorporating fiddle music, jigging and a life-like buffalo puppet. Inspired by historical events of the Métis people of Canada, this original play for young audiences explores the loves, the losses, and the fight of Métis people of the Treaty 6 area – and their love and kinship to the buffalo.

“Inspired by the playwright’s family stories, and generations of Métis history here on Treaty 6 territory, this is a beautiful play that takes us back to the beginning of creation and through time to our present moment. This play will be appreciated by young people and their adults and is certain to connect young people with a better understanding of Métis culture.”
