TRUTH...OR LEGEND?
Mystery of the Ukrainian Indian Chief in Canada
A Lecture by Dr. Svitlana Kukharenko
Thursday, May 9 at 7:00 pm



A recent movie from Ukraine, "The Firecrosser" presents a story of a Soviet-Ukrainian pilot who ended up being a Mohawk chief in Canada. The story is purportedly based on real events. An inquiry into the facts, however, suggests that the story may be something else!

Dr. Svitlana Kukharenko is a post-doctoral fellow at the Centre for Ukrainian Canadian Studies and the Department of German and Slavic Studies, University of Manitoba.
