Every July, 40,000 Aboriginal people journey to Lac Ste Anne in northern Alberta. It is the largest Native pilgrimage in North America, and it is over 100 years old. Recent lawsuits over residential school scandals weigh on the Oblate missionaries, who own the sacred site. They may go bankrupt, and lose the site just when its healing powers are most needed. This documentary chronicles the pilgrimage, a campground tapestry of colourful characters, Catholic and Native faith, and the hope to heal old wounds.
