A Dance Through the Seasons
Description
While the adults struggle with an important decision about the future of their community, Young Woman is gifted the solution in a dream. However, the adults don't recognise the wisdom in Young Woman. Discouraged, she begins a year-long journey towards self-discovery and resilience. With Turtle as her guide, they move through the seasons utilizing traditional practices of the Dakelh (Carrier) people. A year later, Young Woman returns with more knowledge than ever, but will the adults allow her to determine their future?
