A company of professional dancers and community lacrosse players perform this new work, with an original score by two-time Juno award winner Derek Miller.
An abridged performance will be held just before the Peterborough Lakers lacrosse game on the evening of June 16th, and the full performance will be shown on Saturday, June 18th at 3 p.m. as part of the Ode'min Giizis Traditional Gathering at Del Crary Park.
