Sadie, 13, is inspired to begin learning the language and dances of her ancestors. Instead of getting swept up in the wake of historical trauma, these women overcome personal demons and build toward a brighter future.UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization) has recognized 2019 as the International Year of Indigenous Languages (IYIL2019).
