The night before they set up a roadblock, two First Nations men wait for the reinforcements they desperately need. They are cousins, but aside from blood ties, they could hardly be more different. The university-educated Adam believes that knowledge and clear thinking are the keys to bettering his situation. Nathan, who has spent his whole life on the reservation, sees Adam’s ambition as foolish at best, and at worst, as abandoning his Native roots for the white man’s world.

With little to do but wait, Nathan and Adam talk. They crack jokes, talk about girls, question each other’s motives and do what they can to fill the time. Underneath all that banter lies the weight of what they’re planning—a blockade that will potentially cause millions of dollars in damages and possibly even put their own lives on the line.

An open, intelligent and thought-provoking discussion of the issues facing Canada’s First Nations communities, TWO INDIANS TALKING is more than just a simple dialogue. It’s the opening of a much longer—and very necessary—conversation.
