The people of South Indian Lake Manitoba are slowly leaving behind a long period of social crisis brought on by the damming of their namesake lake in the 1970's. The environmental devastation still exists, but the community returns to their original village site once a year for a gathering called 'Kewekapawetan,' meaning 'going back' or 'looking back' in the Cree language. Using archival film and photographs spanning 50 years, this film tells the story of this community's success, demise, and recent efforts to improve their quality of life. The film also traces the film-maker's own disconnected personal history to her Cree homeland where she has never resided. This story reminds us of the link between fragile ecosystems and healthy humans.
