LatestIt's election day on Binesizhaabose First Nation. The votes are in and the community has spoken, leaving both Rowan and Tara shocked by the outcome. The family share in a ceremony led by Henry and Molly who welcome their daughter Rayna to the family officially. Life has led each member of the Wasnoday and Keetch family to this place, where they have all come together, for better or for worse, to face their demons, reconcile their past and find a new way forward.
