As the title suggests, this play is about a time when “there will be no more Indians.” Set in Northern Quebec, traditional chief Fred Pezindawath is opposing a mining company’s attempt to exploit their land. Most of the other community members are won over by the prospect of employment, even the chief’s own son. Fred, along with his friend Marie-Rose Canot, attempts to block the trucks from entering the community. He is arrested and jailed. Alone and defeated, he commits suicide.
