I definitely liked the first act more than the second on my first read, but digging into the second act more, I really like the message and symbolism being shown. The theme here is, I think, that First Nations people are forced into stereotypes and certain narratives even if they are real people and not just characters in a story. It's definitely something I need to see performed for a more rounded understanding, but I enjoyed reading this.
