Shi-shi-etko s'apprête à retourner au pensionnat indien pour une deuxième année, cette fois-ci accompagnée de son petit frère de six ans, Shin-chi. Elle lui remet une pirogue de cèdre miniature, cadeau symbolique de leur père qui représente tout ce dont Shin-chi doit se souvenir et garder secret. Ils ne reverront leur famille que lorsque le saumon rouge remontera la rivière, à l'été. Les mois passés à l'école à apprendre des leçons, à travailleur dur et à assister à la messe sont longs et solitaires. Shin-chi a souvent faim. Pour se redonner de l'espoir, il se rend souvent sur les bords de la rivière, serrant fermement sa petite pirogue et surveillant le retour des saumons.

Fred, qui a presque douze ans, veut avoir un petit frère depuis longtemps. Ses parents décident d'adopter un enfant: Elodie, une petite fille noire de trois ans.

Ses parents reconnaissent son désarroi et le rassurent de leur amour.

Sisters and Brothers by Kent Monkman, National Film Board. (2015). Grades 5 and up.

This short (4 min.) film draws parallels between the annihilation of the bison and the devastation inflicted by the residential school system. Once 75 million strong, wild bison were slaughtered almost to extinction by European settlers by the 1890s, both for their hides and as part of a larger policy to eliminate the main food source of the First Nations of the plains. Around the same time, residential schools were established to remove Aboriginal children from their families in order to assimilate them into mainstream Canadian society. The powwow-step rhythms of Tribe Called Red’s “The Road” drive home the legacy of loss and pain inflicted by more than a century of abuse and neglect.
