BOOK THE DEADLY AUNTIES FOR THE RECON-SILLY-ATION TOUR!
The Deadly Aunties - The Indigenous Powerhouse Duo
THE DEADLY AUNTIES
The Deadly Aunties are a powerhouse of 2 Indigenous Women from the Anishnaabek Nation.
Our goal is to decolonize, empower, and reclaim the traditional Auntie Role through Rezzy humor. We are breaking down negative Indigenous stereotypes, protecting our youth and loving every part of ourselves, the emotional, spiritual, physical and sexual.
We offer a wide rage of services including comedy shows, workshops, customized community sessions, MCing and events, plus so much more. We are always open to suggestions and making each experience optimal for all who participate. We proudly bring our Rezzy and positive Deadly Auntie vibes to First Nations, Communities, Organizations, Cultural Events, etc. all across Canada and the United States.
If you have any questions or would like to set-up a meeting, please contact us below.
Thank you/Miigwetch!
