‘Nakwaxda’xw Elder, Colleen Hemphill, tells the story of her childhood. The film portrays modern-day Colleen as she reflects on her past and re-enacts the stories she tells of her youth as a young girl growing up on a float-house in the wild and unpredictable Pacific Northwest and its waters. Colleen notices how different her way of life was when she was young and how much more harmonious her community was with nature.
