A tough, uncompromising look at a convent-run Native residential school, exploring the life of a nun who burns down the school, as well as the cultural infrastructure and values of the white society which created the schools. While the play chronicles in graphic detail the by now well documented agenda of cultural genocide which motivated the establishment of Native residential schools in Canada, the daring triumph of this play is that it reveals the far less well documented cultural infrastructure and values of the society which created those schools -- the church and the state of white, colonial, paternalist Canada.
