| Publisher Description: An Anishnawbe man, Arthur Copper, decides to repopulate the lakes of his home Territory with manoomin, or wild rice - much to the disapproval of the local non-Indigenous cottagers, in particular the formidable Maureen Poole. Based on real-life events in Ontario's Kawartha Lakes region, Cottagers and Indians infuses contemporary conflicts between Indigenous and non-Indigenous sensibilities with Drew Hayden Taylor's characteristic warmth and humour. |
Contributor Bio(s): Taylor, Drew Hayden: - Drew Hayden Taylor is an award-winning playwright, novelist, essayist, and filmmaker. Born on the Curve Lake First Nation in Central Ontario, Drew has done practically everything from performing stand-up comedy at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., to serving as artistic director for Canada's premiere Indigenous theatre company, Native Earth Performing Arts in Toronto. Somehow in the midst of that, he's managed to carve out time to write the occasional story. Cottagers and Indians is his thirty-second book. |
