Synopsis
Documenting an historic journey that took place in 1993 when crews from thirty different tribal nations paddled hundreds of miles through the waterways of the Northwest coast to a remarkable gathering in Bella, Bella, British Columbia. For thousands of years, the great ocean-going canoe sustained the cultural and spiritual traditions of coastal First Nations in what is now the U.S. and Canada. However, this century saw the near disappearance of these sacred vessels until, in the 1980s, a collective revival of ancient maritime culture produced several cedar-carved canoes.
