Voyage en mémoires indiennes

Sally is a young native woman from the Lower Post reservation in the Yukon. She was taken away from her mother when she was very young, and placed with a foster family far away from her own community. Having grown up and become a mother herself, she tries to find her mother and sisters, whom she hasn't seen since the age of four, in order to understand why and how that happened to her. Starting in the Yukon an winding up in the southern Alberta, Sally's quest revives the memories of several generations of native children who were taken away at a young age and sent by force to boarding schools.
Sally's own story unveils a hidden chapter in the history of Indians in Canada, shedding light on whet is really at stake in their present battle to control their own education. Loss of one's culture, of one's identity, the suffering but recovery too and the hope for generations to come, these are the different stages of the journey made by Sally.
