Why read it?
1 author picked The Rez Sisters as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Perhaps one of the most seminal plays to come out of the First Nations community, if not the Canadian theatre community in general. It starts off with the simplest of plots, seven Indigenous women plan to leave their community on Manitoulin Island to participate in the world's largest bingo game in Toronto. It’s funny, tragic, and a wonderful introduction to the colourful world which we come from.
From Drew's list on Indigenous plays on the people and community.
