Go west, young man, to Deadman Creek, and the quixotic world of Matt Sandvoss, a Wild West-obsessed visionary determined to build a “ghost town” in a remote part of British Columbia. But Matt’s mission raises questions for Gerald Carter, a Cree resident of Deadman Creek, about the age-old stereotypes of cowboys and Indians, the commodification of sacred land and the troubling gap between fantasy and history.
