A documentary focused on the 2003 Unity Ride and Run. This ceremonial journey on horseback and on foot attempted to provide a message of peace and unity in the protection and promotion of traditional practices and the protection of the environment.

In addition to these topics, the Unity Ride and Run provides the backdrop for the provision of information on children’s environmental health and the special circumstances and challenges faced by Aboriginal children.

Elders from many Nations came together to support the Unity Ride and Run and they agreed to share some of their wisdom in the filming of this documentary. This was a joint project of the Canadian Institutes for Child Health and the National Aboriginal Health Organization.
