Portrait of a People explores the history, culture and laws of an indigenous people whose traditional territory lies astride one of the largest hydroelectric energy stores in the world. The story follows students and Elders as they breathe new life into Pimicikamak governance. Beset by 140 years of genocide, they focus on survival. Seeking to "heal the land, heal the people, heal the nation" they find hope in new relationships.
"The book begins with genocide. It ends with hope. Maybe I will see the beginning of real reconciliation in my lifetime. It was an emotional moment to read that last page."
-Paul Barnsley, APTN Executive Producer
