You take your seat in the theatre. You are given a remote control. The
play begins.
An urban couple are on a getaway to visit her father at his vast rural
estate. But when they arrive, they find him missing and a local
Indigenous man staying there instead. They ask him to leave ... and with
an anonymous click of your remote, you choose what happens next.
When it's revealed that the colonial rights to this entire property are
actually up for grabs, you must continue to decide how the story
unfolds, ultimately determining how the land will be stewarded, and by
whom.
With humour, suspense, and a race against time, Inheritance is an
interactive stage play - with over fifty possible variations - that
thrusts you into the middle of a land dispute and asks you to work it
out. Replete with additional material, this unique book includes
insightful forewords by President of the Haida Nation Miles Richardson
and environmentalist David Suzuki, a brief history of the Secwépemc
People, a detailed study guide for students and teachers, and an
interview with the co-creators.
