Join us for a staged reading of a new made-in-Manitoba play, presented in partnership between the Village Conservatory and the Manitoba Association of Playwrights In this absurd comedy, Rod is an earnest Ojibwe field officer working for Indian Affairs. In other words, he&rsquo;s like a grain of wheat between one enormous millstone called Canada and another called First Nations. Management is trying to break him. The Chief of Kishchee Nohttin (Big Wind) First Nation may be trying to kill him. And what might just be the biggest protest Canada has ever seen is brewing.&nbsp; Inspired by Jordan&rsquo;s nearly thirty-year career at Indian Affairs, Big Wind takes the audience beyond the headlines to enjoy an insider&rsquo;s satire about how government works in First Nation country. It&rsquo;ll make you laugh a lot and squirm a little.&nbsp; Written by Jordan McPeekDirected &amp; Dramaturged by Katie German Featuring:<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Ryan Black</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Keely McPeek</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Emily Meadows</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Simon Miron</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Josh Ranville</li></ul>
