A docudrama outlining the history of the residential school system and how it personally effected generations of the First Nations People. Residential schools operated in Canada from the 1800s until the mid-1980s. These schools were a primary weapon of the government and the missionaries in their attempt to systematically destroy Native culture. This video illuminates the voices of many former school residents and their families including Elijah Harper and Art Solomon. Features songs of Maria Linklater. These recollections and experiences are bridged with dramatic excerpts from Shirley Cheechoo's autobiographical play, 'Path With No Moccasins'.
