As part of a racist government policy now known as the Sixties Scoop, Bezhig Little Bird is removed from her home in Long Pine Reserve in Saskatchewan and adopted into a Montréal Jewish family at the age of five, becoming Esther Rosenblum. Now in her 20s, Bezhig longs for the family she lost and is willing to sacrifice everything to find them.

it was a very great and very underrated show
Description of the so-called Sixties Scoop, a twenty-year period in which the Canadian government authorized Social Services to take their children from indigenous families, a cultural and institutional genocide. About the search for the protagonist's original family, it is a painful reflection on identity and on the trauma of the past and the psychological consequences of the trauma of separation. It doesn't avoid dramatic development to show that, in reality, there are elements that continue to be repeated.
