• A tribute to native women everywhere, this thoughtful and hopeful documentary focusses on five native women from across Canada. Of varied ages and backgrounds, they have achieved success in a variety of careers: as the Yukon legislature’s first native woman minister, as a deck hand on a fishing boat, as a teacher, a lawyer, and an Indian chief. Each of these women talk about how she got to where she is today, and attests to the importance of native culture – its values, art and spiritual beliefs – in helping her to develop a sense of self and seeing her through rough times. –NFB catalogue.
