The Baby Blues 2016 Jean BarmanThe Baby Blues by Ojibwe playwright Drew Hayden Taylor is a social satire mixed with a large dose of Indigenous humour about identity, parenthood, powwows, and stereotypes. An aging fancy dancer, a young fancy dancer, an anthropology student with 1 64th Aboriginal heritage, a single parent mom, and her daughter all meet during a powwow weekend. All participants in this drama learn important lessons about themselves, life, and First Nations cultures.
