The Scene of the Scene

25. Shanawdithit.


Listen Later

We saw Shanawdithit ,

a new opera produced by Tapestry Opera and Opera
on the Avalon, about the woman who was long
considered the last Beothuk. She is also the main source of what little we
know about the Beothuk, an indiginous people of Newfoundland who were the
victims of ethnocide.

Michael and

Chris were excited to see the opera and talk
about it afterwards.
