She deeply misses the loving environment of the reserve she once called home, and her isolation is sharpened by her father's serious illness. Wato's classmates' prejudice is aggravated when the teacher reads from a history book describing First Nations peoples as ignorant and cruel, and shy, vulnerable Wato becomes the target of their bullying and abuse. Alone in her suffering, she finds solace and strength in the protective world of her magical dreams. Written by NFB See less
