Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Grandma Jo | Female 50 - 70 Years old |
Description Indigenous Grandmother. Shy and reserved. Doesn't smile often. Has to be able to gently cry. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Co Star | Alana | Female 13 - 18 Years old |
Description Indigenous teenager. Prefferably 15-17, but would consider 13-18. Typical miserable teenager going through hormone changes. Rebellious look. Outsider. Would be open to authentic "non-actor" casting, but would prefer actors, as this role also requires a cry scene. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Co Star | Young Alana | Female 5 - 8 Years old |
Description Indigenous young girl. Alana is sweet and innocent, and always has a burst of energy. She's very interested in random little things. This role is open to any Indigenous girl who fits the age description, regardless of experience or training. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Co Star | Winona | Female 17 - 27 Years old |
Description Indigenous female. Very cruicial role. Winona is very wise. She helps shape the entire script. However, she's a memory of Grandma Jo. She is not actually alive, therefore has very limited lines. Actor must be able to play one of those "conscience" roles... almost like a ghost. Voice and delivery is very important. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Supporting | Onida | Female 50 - 75 Years old |
Description Indigenous. Onida is the leader of a support group for trauma survivors. She grew up in a residential school and is helping others to overcome their trauma. | ||
