This play is set in one room of a Red River fort during the 19th century Red River Resistance. Three women discuss their perspectives on their changing world, European influence, the fur trade and the Métis leader Louis Riel. They are a Métis woman, Marie-Angelique; an Ojibwe Manitoban trapper, Eugenia; and a European settler, Cecelia. Marie-Angelique is a strong supporter of Louis Riel, Cecelia has a romantic crush on Thomas Scott, who is killed by Riel, and Eugenia cares for no men. The narration switches between 19th and 21st century language and perspectives, as the women talk about men and the relationships between Indigenous peoples and European settlers. In this lively, historical satire of survival and cultural inheritance, playwright Frances Koncan shifts perspectives from the male gaze onto women's power in the past and present through the lens of the rapidly changing world of the Canadian fur trade.

Setting: Banks of Reddish River in Treaty One Territory, Manitoba.

Audience Advisory: Just a warning. This play contains strong language and content, because history does sometimes.
