CAFÉ DAUGHTER (2023) TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 247:00 P.M. GANONG HALL LECTURE THEATRE
Duration: 97 minutes
Dir: Shelley Niro (Kanien'kehá:ka/Mohawk)
Café Daughter is the story of Yvette Wong, a nine year old girl of Cree and Chinese Canadian ancestry struggling to find her place in a small Saskatchewan community in the 1960s. Her mother, a residential school survivor, taught her children not to reveal that they were Indigenous, so Yvette initially explores her heritage in secret. Café Daughter is inspired by the life of retired senator Lillian Dyck and based on Kenneth T. Williams’ play of the same name. Visit cafedaughter.com.
