How do you take back a story you didn't know was yours? How do you move forward while embracing and understanding your past? A poetic story of reclamation, recovery, and reconciliation by spoken word artist Cobra Collins, HOP ALONG HANG ON blends the genres of spoken word poetry, music and animation to explore and acknowledge the deeper history and long-term effects of the removal of culture within Indigenous peoples of Canada.

Through the narrator’s personal lens, HOP ALONG HANG ON offers a glimpse into the difficulties and trauma surrounding the Sixties scoop and subsequent ongoing hardships faced by Indigenous people who have found themselves on the outside of their culture. Let Rose the rabbit tell you how she found her way home, in hopes that we can all build a better tomorrow, together.
