Cottagers and Indians

An Indigenous man, Arthur Copper, has taken it upon himself to repopulate the nearby lakes with wild rice, known amongst the Anishinaabe as Manoomin. The seeds bloom into a funny-yet-fiery exchange between the farmer and a cottage owner, Maureen Poole. Told with warmth and humour, and encompassing issues of community, respect and ownership, COTTAGERS AND INDIANS is a tale for our times.
