The Rez Sisters

For my first blog I chose to go into depth about the rez sisters. I'm curious as to what this play is about. When I think of native reserves I think of an area separated from other towns, having their own community, making their own clothes and fishing for their own food. At least that's what other books and movies perceive to be true. I'm curious as to whether other books and my thoughts and ideas are similar to what this play in particular is about.

    1. Marjone, Cassidy very clearly showed her wonderings. You can improve your responses by also sharing your wonderings and your perceptions of Native reserves based on your experiences.

  2. Reserves are all different. I have a friend who lives around here who was raised hunting for some of his food (definitely not all), and a friend in Nunavut who buys everything she eats. As far as I know, most people on reserves buy clothes like you or I. But like I said, all reserves are different, so I'm equally as excited to see what the one in this play will be like.

    1. I agree with your point that all reserves are different. Just like towns and cities have differences, so do reserves. I like how you shared your knowledge of reserves based on the experiences of your friends.

  3. Cassidy, I like how you were honest about your thoughts about Native reserves. I also think that it is great that you recognize that your view has been shaped by books and movies. I wonder what new view The Rez Sisters will give you.
