| | Synopsis
|
This moving sequel to the award-winning Shi-shi-etko tells the story
of two children's experience at residential school. Shi-shi-etko is
about to return for her second year, but this time her six-year-old
brother, Shin-chi, is going, too.
As they begin their journey in the back of a cattle truck,
Shi-shi-etko tells her brother all the things he must remember: the
trees, the mountains, the rivers and the salmon. Shin-chi knows he
won't see his family again until the sockeye salmon return in the
summertime. When they arrive at school, Shi-shi-etko gives him a tiny
cedar canoe, a gift from their father.
The children's time is filled with going to mass, school for half the
day, and work the other half. The girls cook, clean and sew, while the
boys work in the fields, in the woodshop and at the forge. Shin-chi is
forever hungry and lonely, but, finally, the salmon swim up the river
and the children return home for a joyful family reunion.
