<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Humour allows the exploration of Indigenous relationships with settler law.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Little Red Warrior is the last remaining member of the Little Red Warrior First Nation. One day, he discovers a development company has begun construction on his Ancestral Lands. In a fit of rage, Little Red attacks one of the engineers and is arrested for assault and trespassing on his own Lands. In jail he meets his court-appointed lawyer, Larry, who agrees to help Little Red get his lands back. Larry convinces his wife, Desdemona, to allow Little Red to move into their basement while they sort out Red's case. Desdemona and Red strike up an uneasy relationship. Despite herself Desdemona, who is not accustomed to being thrown off her game, is increasingly drawn to Red's apparently hypnotic Indigenous charisma. As sparks fly between them, Larry prepares to fight for Little Red's Land Rights. An unexpected intervention by a greater power occurs in the court case, and nothing will ever be the same.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Kevin Loring was appointed the inaugural artistic director of Indigenous Theatre at the National Arts Centre of Canada in 2017.
