Theme-
behind-the-plot meaning, something less about events and more about significance, perhaps even a conclusion they’ve drawn from the book.
Plot is the events of story; theme is the meaning behind or revealed by story.
What themes stand out to you so far in Indian Horse?
Beat Nation
As we continue to read Indian Horse, a novel set in the tragedy of residential schools, we will compare the themes in Indian Horse to the writers, artists and musicians today. My goal is to focus on the resilience of Indigenous communities in Canada, and how both resilience and resurgences are woven into the work of influential Indigenous youth, writers, musicians and artists today.
I asked you to write about an important place.
Watch the clip below and pull out some important themes in Favreau's clip.

One important theme in both Indian Horse and Favreau's story is the importance of home, and how the qualities of home can be found in many different ways.
Indian Horse so far, shows the loss of home.
Favreau shows how as an Indigenous musician from the West Coast, redefined home in the Mohawk Nation of Kanawake.
In both stories, family are a very important characteristic of home. In Indian Horse, Saul looses his siblings and then his family splits from this pain and tragedy. For Favreau, having his son grow up on Kanawake territory cements where he belongs and calls home.
