• Summary:"Celebrated author and playwright Tomson Highway brings his signature irreverence to an exploration of five themes central to the human condition ... An invigorating comparison of Christian, classical, and Cree mythologies reveals their contributions to Western thought, life, and culture - and how North American Indigenous mythologies provide unique, timeless solutions to our modern problems. Highway also offers generous personal anecdotes, including accounts of his beloved accordion-playing, caribou-hunting father, and plentiful Trickster stories as curatives for the all-out unhappiness caused by today's patriarchal, colonial systems." -- Back cover
