Native women are members of a proud matriarchal culture. For centuries, they have fought to maintain that culture despite enormous pressure to adopt the values and traditions of White society. In this film, Indian, Metis and Inuit women of all ages and from all areas of Canada talk about their struggle to regain a sense of equality and to install in their children a sense of pride.
