Synopsis

An Indigenous man, Arthur Copper, has taken it upon himself to repopulate the nearby lakes with wild rice, known amongst the Anishinaabe as Manoomin. The seeds bloom into a funny-yet-fiery exchange between the farmer and a cottage owner, Maureen Poole. Told with warmth and humour, and encompassing issues of community, respect and ownership, COTTAGERS AND INDIANS is a tale for our times.
