Project Title
Skeleton Canoe
Fiscal Year Awarded
2024
Grant or Program
National Theater Project Creation & Touring Grant

Skeleton Canoe follows the story of young Nawbin as they leave home and set out on a rites of passage through a season of their life. Their journey along the water to discover their truth and way back to themselves and ancestral knowledge. Along the way they discover unexpected friends, weather storms, and gain a canoe! Through the use of puppetry, traditional Anishinaabe lifeways, and multimedia design, Skeleton Canoe makes known what is just below the water’s surface.

Land Acknowledgement: Lenape
