Shi-Shi-Etko (2009) watch online HD

Young native Indian Shi-Shi-Etko will soon be taken away from her home to begin her formal western education at a residential school, which were designed to solve the Indian "problem". Her mother, father and grandmother want her to remember her native roots and they wait for her return in the spring to continue passing down those ideals to her. In the meantime, the Indian community is barren of children.

The last residential schools in Canada closed in 1996.

All of the actors are Coast Salish and they all had to learn the language for the film. None had acted although Ta'kaiya Blaney is a singer / musician, and Inez Jasper is a singer /songwriter.
