I have just re-read the book which has been sitting on my shelf for years. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The movie is a faithful attempt to convey how well the young vicar( played by Tom Courtenay) was suited to the task of living amongst the Canadian Indians because he was sensitive to the way they lived their daily lives, while still modelling servanthood as required by his religion. It shows how right Jesus was when he said we needed to be servants to help others. The book was written in 1967 so I wonder what has has happened to the area in which the book was set and to the Indian tribes whose young people were going to schools outside the area.
