2025 Pawâkan Tour
PAwâkan remains Inspired by the youth of Frog Lake First Nation on Treaty 6 Territory
Ages 14+
Length: 90 minutes, no intermission
The Métis Tour
Pawâkan works with three Indigenous languages: Plains Cree, Stoney Nakoda and Michif. This 2025 tour gives Akpik Theatre the opportunity to delve deeper into Métis culture and land and hopefully more language with the cast and company. This Community Telling tour brings us into Treaty 1 territory for the first time and has us developing an even deeper connection to the land and communities in Saskatchewan and Alberta. Check in with us as the tour comes together for May and June of 2025! Buy your tickets and see you soon! Marci!

Land Acknowledgement
The lands we reside on carry the stories, songs, patterns, and dance of Indigenous Peoples since time immemorial. These ancestral connections exist through language and place. Akpik Theatre acknowledges, as a nomadic company, that we always create on many First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples traditional territories, including our own. Frog Lake First Nation has a strong connection to the language, culture and teachings of Treaty 6 Territory. To have been able to spend time with the students there and develop the integral root of Pawâkan beginnings has inspired dozens of Indigenous communities to learn and tell their own lived histories. Akpik Theatre is in deep gratitude to the community and Elders of Frog Lake to be able to share this story with integrity. Hiy Hiy / Mahsi cho / Quyanainni.
