Logline: A spoken word poem about Indigenous issues from the perspective of three different Native women.

Synopsis: In Canada's backyard, a colonial history of oppression and cultural genocide against Aboriginal women has created a vicious cycle of poverty, greed, addiction and abuse. And in the streets these women must overcome their situations in order to survive and at the same time, have their stories known and understood.
