Summary
In these two plays, Drew Taylor delves into the past and speculates about the future as he exames the dilemmas facing young Native Canadians today. Toronto at Dream's Rock is a moving portrayal of a teenage boy who is torn between the traditions of his people, and the lure o fmodern life. His magical encounters with two members of his tribe - one from 400 years in the past and one from the future - make him aware of how little he has thought about what it means to be an Indian. Education Is Our Right borrows from the familiar story of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, but in this version the Spirits of Education Past, Present and Future attempt to show the Minister of Indian Affairs the error of his ways.
