Ajijaak on Turtle Island is a theatrical spectacle for all ages reflecting our connectedness with all of creation while bearing witness to the birth and first year of flight of a whooping crane in North America. 

Separated from her family, young whooping crane Ajijaak undertakes her first migration from Canada to coastal Texas alone. Her journey is disrupted by environmental, industrial, and mythical chaos. Ajijaak must follow her intuition to fly onward, learning from the contemporary Indigenous communities she encounters along the way.
