About This Book
Annie Mae's Movement explores what it must have been like to be Anna Mae Pictou Aquash, a woman in a man's movement, a Canadian in America, an Aboriginal in a white-dominant culture at a time when it felt like we could really change the world.
Dying under mysterious circumstances, it is still unclear what really happened to Anna Mae back in the late 70s. Instead of recounting cold facts, this play looks for the truth in examining the life and death of this remarkable Aboriginal woman; that we cannot know the consequences of our actions; that we live on in the work that we do and the people we affect long after we have passed from this world.

She grabs a bottle, it is ketchup, pours it on her wrists. Wails, drunk and crushed by the weight of history.
NOGEESHIK enters.
NOGEESHIK: Annie! Annie, Christ. Are you hurt? What the hell happened? Who did this to you? Didā
He stops. Lifts her wrist. Sniffs. Licks.
Christ.
ANNA: You left me.
NOGEESHIK: I was at a meeting.
ANNA: I thought you left me.
NOGEESHIK: Anna Mae, this, (taking her hands as he starts to clean her up) this is not good.
ANNA: Itās not real, Nogeeshik.

ANNA: Sometimes. Sometimes I do, Iāve got this pain, deep inside, and I donāt know what itās gonna take to make it stop.
NOGEESHIK: Anna, I been thinkingā¦ I wanna make a changeā¦

NOGEESHIK laughs.

ANNA: An AIM meeting? Why didnāt you call me?
NOGEESHIK: I tried to find you to come. (beat) They said at work you went for beer.
ANNA: Well you know where we go.
NOGEESHIK shrugs.
What, you didnāt want me showing up at an AIM meeting with beer on my breath? You hypocriteā
