False Face by Welwyn Wilton Katz





Canadian children's literature is relatively unknown in Sweden. The books that have been translated into Swedish cannot perhaps compete with representatives of more established literatures. Yet they allow a glimpse of Canadian children's literature and its specific nature, for instance, more intensive links to Native American mythology, as compared to children's literature from the United States.





False Face can be read on different levels: as an adventure novel with treasure hunt, mysteries and perhaps supernatural events; or as a psychological portrayal of a young girl's dramatic liberation from an unscrupulous adult; or as a story of a half-blood adjusting to the life style and mentality of the white, his reconciliation and acceptance of his own identity. This aspect can be viewed as a parallel to immigrant children's situation and presents a better alternative to the many mediocre ';immigrant'; novels.





Laney McIntyre is thirteen years old, and her parents are divorced. She has conflicts with both parents and with her older sister.





Tom Walsh has just moved with his white mother from an Indian reservation where his Indian father has recently died. He feels like an outsider in the white community. He is bullied for his dark skin and hair.





The two youngsters find two Indian masks in a moor outside the little town where they live. One is of a normal size, the other a miniature. The plot revolves around these objects. For Laney's mother, who runs an antique shop, the masks are merely valuables, a good investment. She is even prepared to break the law and sell objects that belong in a museum. Laney father is an archeologist, only interested in the scientific value of the masks. For Tom, the masks are part of a living tradition, his cultural heritage. He also realizes that they are dangerous as occult objects. They may injure their owner. Perhaps Laney's mother gets possessed by their evil forces.





Laney is torn between these three opinions, and between different loyalties. The three people abuse her confusion.





The adventure brings Laney closer to her father. She feels his support for the first time and can therefore get free from her mother's oppressive influence. This is undoubtedly the most important aspect of the book, even though it is obviously not what a young reader will immediately notice.





There are many strange events and happenings that can be ascribed to the magic power of the masks, but the connection is uncertain. The sister gets sick, the mother's rival in antique business gets sick. It could be a coincidence. The dramatic last scene could have a supernatural explanation, but also a symbolic one, a game of power between four people, two adults and two children.





The point of view changes often and quickly between Laney and Tom. This provides a variable perspective, but limits the insight into the characters' inner lives. Also other narrative elements show that the author has not found the right tone yet. Everything is a bit vague and loose. Every now and then the story hovers just one step from a nostalgic view of Indians and their culture.

FALSE FACE, Welwyn Wilton Katz. New York : M.K. McElderry Books,1988. (Grades 6-9)





An exciting and well-told story of a white female teen (Lonny) and a mixed-blood male teen (Tom) who accidentally unearth an old Iroquois false face mask. However, the portrayal of the Iroquois and nonsense presented about the mask are way off base and very insulting. The author is obviously familiar with the locale of the story, and places on the Six Nations Reserve in Ontario are accurately described. However, this is a clear example of the phrase ';a little knowledge is a dangerous thing';. Katz conjures up a ridiculously evil power that is supposed to inhabit the false face mask and alter the personalities of characters who attempt to possess the mask. This personalities of characters who attempt to possess the mask. This goes beyond the wild fantasies of a creative author. False face masks are an integral part of traditional Iroquois religion practised today on the very reserve that Katz describes so well. Her description of the mask as an absolute evil amounts to religious intolerance and goes far in fostering the conception of native, non-Christian religions as savage pagan rituals. A very harmful book. Reviewed by Lisa Mitten and Naomi Caldwell-Wood
