Cottagers and Indians

By Drew Hayden Taylor

An Anishnawbe man decides to repopulate the lakes of his home territory with manoomin (wild rice) much to the disapproval of non-Indigenous cottagers, in particular a middle aged white woman. Based on a real conflict, Cottagers and Indians explores contemporary conflicts between Indigenous and non-Indigenous sensibilities with humour and fairness. Based on a real-life event still occurring in the Kawartha Lakes region of Central Ontario.
