NATIONAL INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DAY | 15
JUNE 2025
Celebrating National Indigenous Peoples Day
On National Indigenous Peoples Day, we celebrate the artistry and vision of trailblazing Choreographer Cameron sink ə Fraser-Monroe, a proud member of the Tla’amin First Nation. From July 23–25, his acclaimed ballet T’ ə l: The Wild Man of the Woods — rooted in the oral history of Elder Elsie Paul — will be performed at Ballet in the Park, taking place at the Lyric Theatre in Assiniboine Park. Narrated in Ayajuthem and English, this powerful work invites audiences to connect through movement and story. Join us for this free event! Next spring, his š ɛ gat ə m makes its Winnipeg debut following its premiere in New York City, with music from the renowned Jeremy Dutcher. Meaning “to lift someone up,” this moving work tells the story of a leader who must find strength through the support of their community. The RWB is proud to present two of Cameron’s groundbreaking works weaving cultural memory, kinship, and Indigenous worldviews with the language of contemporary ballet.
