Will's Garden
Will's Garden is a coming of age story of an adolescent aboriginal boy. His preparations for his Becoming A Man Ceremony centre on beading that becomes a tapestry of self discovery and looking back at the history of his people (the Sto:lo) locally and the hardships still facing aboriginals. The prejudiced reaction and derogatory comments of the football players against Will and the other aboriginals at school may be uncomfortable for some students. .
