| | Synopsis
|
Fictional account of five children sent to aboriginal boarding school,
based on the
recollections of a number of Tsartlip First Nations people. These
unforgettable chi
ldren are taken by government agents from Tsartlip Day School to live
at Kuper Islan
d Residential school. The five are isolated on the small island and
life becomes re
gimented by the strict school routine. They experience the pain of
homesickness and
confusion while trying to adjust to a world completely different from
their own. T
heir lives are no longer organized by fishing, hunting and family, but
by bells, lin
e-ups and chores. In spite of the harsh realities of the residential
school, the ch
ildren find adventure in escape, challenge in competition, and
camaraderie with thei
r fellow students.
