War on Trial

Powered only by their spirit, a brave group of natives set off on a 600-mile horse ride to bring awareness to the inter-generational trauma their people have endured since colonization. Inter-generational trauma inflicted upon the First Nations has led to many children displaced within child-care systems, missing women and girls, deaths and murders with no justice. A diverse group of Natives will embark on a journey to strengthen their spirits, encourage awareness and bring their children home. —Steve Haining The over representation of First Nations children in child-care, stems from decades of suffering and inter generational trauma. The infliction of these deeply stressing and disturbing experiences has led to dangerous coping methods, incarceration and often death among Indigenous populations. A brave group of Natives leave on a nomadic horseback journey 600 Kilometres through the Canadian prairies. They come from different many cultures but are connected by their stories. With strengthening spirit and traditions, they attempt to spark change, bring awareness to large and growing numbers of missing Indigenous women, '60s scoop survivors and, bring their children home. —Steve Haining
