Grand Theft Terra Firma explores how S’ólh Téméxw — the traditional and unceded territories of the Stó:lō people—was colonized in the 1850s and 1860s and asks how that history is lived today, by people of both Indigenous and settler ancestry. Responding to the 150th anniversary of Canadian Confederation and the final report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, this performance is devised (created by the performers) and asks challenging questions about the ongoing legacies of colonization in Canada and how reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people might be enacted.
