Purchase quality items in our online silent auction, and support Gwaandak Theatre’s spring production, Map of the Land, Map of the Stars. This new play explores how all of us, from Yukon’s First Peoples to waves of newcomers, live and connect on this Yukon landscape.

All funds raised go directly to artists and touring theatre for youth and adults in Yukon communities.

“One meaning of “Gwaandak” in the Gwich’in language is “storyteller”.

Gwaandak Theatre, the Yukon’s only Indigenous theatre company, was founded in Whitehorse in 1999 by theatre artists Leonard Linklater and Patti Flather.

Gwaandak Theatre’s vision is to illuminate Indigenous and Northern stories around the world.

Our stories question, honour, and celebrate. They explore themes around decolonization, cultural identity, social justice, underrepresented voices and human rights. We tour to both tiny communities and major centres, and provide comprehensive study guides for secondary schools and colleges.

Gwaandak Theatre develops, produces and tours plays for both youth and adults. Our programming also includes new play workshops, readings and training for theatre artists.
