Tragedy on the prairie: Members of the Akpik Theatre from Edmonton performed the play Pawâkan Macbeth Jan. 27 at the Nipishkopahk Secondary School in Maskwacis. The play draws on the comparisons between Macbeth and the Cree legend Wihtiko in its storyline where the Plains Cree and Stoney Nakoda are at war with the Blackfoot then journeys through greed, honour and betrayal.
