Description | Based on a true story, Cottagers and Indians explores the relationship between Indigenous residents and recreational cottagers living on the same lake in the Kawarthas region of Ontario. Conflict comes to a head when cottage owners revolt against an Indigenous rice farmer arguing that he’s ruining their vacation getaway. Cottagers and Indians takes a sincere and pragmatic look at the current conflicts between First Nations traditional water usage and property owners in cottage country who are looking to enjoy an undisturbed summer getaway. The play cleverly uses humour to deliver a story with serious subject matter. Playwright Drew Hayden Taylor says “I’m a firm believer that you can teach, you can explore, you can heal through humour as much as you can through anger or sadness”.
