In the year 1649, the Iroquois are on the warpath, killing traitors and Christians at the mission of Sainte Marie. The shaman is worried about windigos and the Black Robe about the fires of hell. Worlds collide in a renowned First Nations playwright's epic, dark, funny, and healing vision of early Canada.
Brébeufs Ghost Reviews
-
Kind of an odd play about native life when the jesuits came over to help convert them. I had to read this for my Can Lit class so it isn't something that I would have picked up. Moses is a good author though, I liked his writing style. The characters are confusing though because they all are interlinked and it's hard to keep straight who is who in the story. The cannibalism bothered me a bit as well. I did like the way how Moses broke down the conventions and stereotypes about native culture from that time period.
