Description
"An Ojibwe boy runs away from a North Ontario Indian School. He realizes too late just how far away home is. Along the way he is followed by Manitous, spirits of the forest who comment on his plight, cajoling, taunting, and ultimately offering him a type of comfort on his difficult journey back to the place he was so brutally removed from."
