Megwitetim interacts with the land and water through the lens of a young native girl recalling a moment in time with her mother. The sounds of wind, birds and water are accompanied by visuals of sweetgrass surrounded by the bush and waterfront, immersing audiences in a short film that is rooted in passing down teachings that have been shared for generations.
