This film follows Kendra in her journey from adopted, privileged young woman to the inheritor of an ancient tribal ancestry. Kendra, an adult adoptee, reconnects with her Native American birth family, discovers her lost heritage and confronts issues of her own identity. Kendra is refreshingly candid about her fears and confusion. Her story will resonate with the many whose lives are affected by the Indian Child Welfare Act and Indian Adoption Project. Involving the nearby Lummi tribe, this story strikes close to home for Port Townsend.
