Excerpt from Endless Sunlight. Centered around an audio recording of a conversation between kokum Penny Roan and Jennifer Houseman (Tyson's grandmother and mother), kokum Penny tells a story about her kokum's experience at a residential school in southern alberta, sharing that her uncle burned down the school when he was seven years old. Five generations of matriarchal lineage are weaved across time through images of a young woman, Osa Roan, who is Penny Roan's granddaughter, harvesting birch bark at a camp in the summer.
