In a windswept grasslands grave yard, elementary students of the Strathcona Tweedsmuir school gather to honor First Nations children that between 1885 and 1922 died while attending the Dunbow Indian Industrial School near Calgary. Subjected to neglect, malnutrition, disease and abuse, many were buried in unmarked graves on the school grounds and largely forgotten. Struggling to come to terms with the dark history of the residential schools in Canada, the students embark on an emotional journey to give voice and an identity to those First Nations children that were buried and forgotten there long ago.
