After spending some years raging, he reconnected with elders and found peace in the traditional ways. Henry openly shares his healing journey back to harmony. His story is a true account of one Cree man's chapter in Canadian history. Henry had a dream of sharing traditional knowledge with the coming faces of his people. Therefore 100% of profits will go to Mihkowapikwaniy Cultural Camp which is a storytelling leadership gathering located in Lubicon Traditional Territory where culture is celebrated, and traditions are passed down.
