The Rez Sisters

At the bingo game in Toronto, the Bingo Master (Nanabush’s latest disguise). comes in through the audience’s center aisle, and introduces the game. The jackpot is $500,000, but they first play a warm-up game for a $20 pot. The sisters play along with the rest of the crowd. Someone calls bingo, and wins the little pot. When they switch to the game with the bigger pots, they use a bingo machine on stage. The women sit at a long table that is set up to resemble Leonardo DaVinci’s famous painting “The Last Supper.” In the tableau, Zhaboonigan plays with Veronique’s lucky crucifix.

The women talk about needing to get B 14. They face the audience while eating snacks and smoking. Eventually, after B 14 continues to not be called, they attack the bingo machine and carry it through the audience and out of the theater. Marie-Adele stays behind and waltzes with the Bingo Master. He whispers bingo and transforms into a nighthawk.

As Marie-Adele talks to Nanabush, the scene behind her changes to Wasaychigan Hill. She asks, half in Cree, for the Bingo Master/nighthawk to take her. Nanabush takes Marie-Adele into the spirit world. Zhaboonigan tries to follow them, but Emily grabs her.
