Synopsis
This short film is an excerpt from the feature film “United by Water”
“You can flood the path, but we’ll always find our way back”
The 5 tribes (Colville Confederated Tribes, Couer D’Alene, Kalispel, Kootenai Tribe of Idaho, Spokane) of the Upper Columbia River unite on the water in traditional canoes for the first time since the Grand Coulee Dam flooded their traditional waterways 76 years ago.
