This documentary highlights the Elders’ understanding of historical trauma and directions to ‘begin to heal our nations’. All speak to healing collectively using Indigenous knowledge and traditional practices. Youth voices chronicle their perspectives and responses to health and social concerns. This documentary works towards raising consciousness of Indigenous peoples’ struggle to preserve their knowledge and culture.
