Confessions of an Indian Cowboy

By Margo Kane

"Confessions of an Indian Cowboy is a probing, endearing and sometimes amusing look at the history of contact between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people and at the communities that exist in Canada as a result of this contact. This one-woman musical show tells stories of the Indian and Métis, peoples of mixed heritage who have been pushed aside and ignored for well over a century. A master storyteller, singer and dancer, Margo Kane plays the roles of several distinct characters as she explores how the apparent social and cultural contradictions inherent in being both “Indian” and “Cowboy” are reconciled. The characters share their personal stories, insights and humour, informing audiences about that unique part of their collective history. Margo Kane moves effortlessly from pathos to humour to rousing music and song." - fullcircle.ca (Full Circle First Nations Performance)
