The Half-Breed


Lo Dorman was born to an Indian woman and a white man. Rejected by her lover, the mother abandons the infant to a lonely immigrant, before throwing herself off a cliff. The orphan grows up but when his benevolent guardian dies, he becomes an outsider again, the “Métis”, and must go into exile to live alone in the woods.
