In an expression of loss and gain, the taking away and picking up, can we really ever reclaim the things that have been lost?  Using stop - frame digital imagery and digital video, the ebb and flow of language and culture as witnessed by a young anishinaabe man comes to the fore.

John Hupfield is a writer, filmmaker and member of the Wasauksing First Nation.  One of the nine tribes of the Potawatomi Nation.
