The story is fictional but set in the real situation of fights over land rights and environmental pollution in Northern Ontario. Seeking revenge – or is it retributive justice? – a mysterious native named Arthur kidnaps the manager of a polluting paper mill. When a reporter shows up in Ojibway country to do a glib piece on Native American healers, Arthur kidnaps him too, in time realizing this man will either bear witness, or become Arthur’s accomplice, as the elders of the tribe convince the reporter to follow the Ojibway path.
A Dream Like Mine is a journey into the contemporary issue of radical and violent solutions to stop the destruction of the environment. It is also a journey into the unconscious, and into the nightmare of history, beauty and terror that are the awesome landscape of the Native Canadian spirit world.
