The ecstasy of Rita Joe: recounts the story of a young Indigenous woman who comes to the city to find freedom from the limitations of reserve life, only to experience racism, marginalization, and finally rape and murder. Indian: examines the poverty and despair of the variously named and ultimately anonymous “Indian,” who elicits the intended guilt and sympathy from the members of the audience and who then rejects them violently in an outburst of rage, anguish, and guilt of his own. Grass and wild strawberries: Allan is caught between alternative attitudes, between the disenchanted radicalism of his Uncle Ted and the childish mysticism of his lover, Susan, and the Group. Gradually, he rejects the extremes of each view, but accepts the necessity for individual social responsibility.
