5.0

Really wonderful play--the movie of the same name is also fantastic and well worth watching. Great teaching material; my students in the class (Advanced English upgrading, about Grade 11 English for adults), loved it and found it utterly hilarious and touching. At the time most of my students self-identified as First Nations/Aboriginal (Native Canadian), and many said they could relate to it even though it was American. There were many similarities between the reserves they'd grown up on and the one in the play.
