Cottagers and Indians

More about the book

Arthur Copper, an Anishnawbe man, embarks on a mission to restore the lakes in his territory by repopulating them with manoomin, or wild rice. His efforts face significant opposition from local non-Indigenous cottagers, especially from the strong-willed Maureen Poole. This conflict highlights the tensions between Indigenous traditions and modern land use, exploring themes of cultural preservation and environmental stewardship.
