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.
