Rose's Run by Dawn Dumont, Daniel Grenier
Rose Okanese, a single mother with two kids, has been pushed into a corner by Rez citizens to claim some self-respect, and decides that the fastest way to do that is to run the reserve’s annual marathon. Though Rose hasn’t run in twenty years, smokes, and initially has little motivation, she announces her intention to run the race. One quality Rose doesn’t lack is spontaneity which sometimes clashes with her iron will and, though she has initial regrets about opening her mouth, her life begins to dictate that she must follow through.

In no time the Rez is in an uproar after an old demon is unintentionally called forth by Rose's teenage daughter, Sarah. The spirit woman creates a reign of fear and havoc by appearing to people on the reserve, and in no time the Rez is in an uproar.

With a cast of unusual and unfamiliar characters, Dumont interweaves a tale of motherly love, friendship, lustful longing, wîhtikow lore, and Rez humour, and keeps the hoopla going until the race is done.
