RAYNA: I was very lucky.

I grew up in a loving home,

an only child...

...and I have two beautiful children.

You're not welcome here.

You're the reason she was taken away in the first place.

(Speaking Anishinaabemowin)

Well, fine, I'll go then.

(Scoffing)

Welcome home.

(Indigenous singing)

(Henry speaking Anishinaabemowin:)

Brrr...

(Laughing)

You got lots of cousins, too,

but only the good ones are coming tomorrow.

Elenore and Frankie and all of them -

just a bunch of drunks and druggies.

Don't care about nothing but getting their welfare checks.

You have three sisters, though. What about them?

Well, Martha, she lives in town.

She hates in on the rez, and Edith, well,

she's out west somewhere; don't see much of her.

Who are all these for?

Giveaways for the guests.

Settlers got it wrong -

you don't get gifts at celebrations;

you give them.

Cool.

Ah, Rayna, that husband of yours,

he oughta be ashamed of himself for missing your special day.

He really wanted to come,

but he had a... a work merger thing.

Better not be another, Greg.

That sister of yours, always covering up

for that no-good husband of hers.

Always working, no time for family.

Isn't he the head of ER or something?

I don't care if he's the prime minister, family comes first.

Hey, give me that tub, would you?

(Both laughing)

?

? I'm driving down this road ?

(Speaking Anishinaabemowin:)

Boozhoo. My father knows I don't speak the language,

but I do understand a lot of it though.

That's very funny. Um... I don't do anything half-assed.

In fact, I am currently working on

our language revitalization plan,

and it will be an immersive program,

beginning with grade one.

beginning with grade one.

(Rock music playing)

? This blue sky may come down ?

Is that moose ready to go, Pop? Uh-huh.

? And all at once, you hope get by ?

Hey, Jonas.

(Rock music continuing over loudspeaker)

?

Are you trying to get me killed?

(Chuckling)

Okay, moose stew?

Check.

Uh, giveaways?

Uh, still working on them, but you can check.

Honorarium?

I have that for Ron in my bag.

PA system?

Check.

Oh, um, the elders are gonna be making the cedar tea.

And I'll start the bannock in the morning after church.

Mom, I was thinking that maybe

you could do like a whole-wheat or a gluten-free flour thing?

Yuck!

Bannock is like the highest thing on the glycemic index.

It would just- it would be healthier for everyone.

You're not my doctor.

No, but I am a doctor and I care about your health.

Well, I don't have to listen to this.

So, Stacia is at Harvard.

Yeah, she's always been super bright.

Both my kids are.

Myles is on the robotics team,

he's the star.

Well, I was a super nerd.

I didn't have a social life. I just studied all the time.

I would've loved to go to Harvard Med School,

but the reserve could only afford to send me to McGill.

The reserve pays for education? What?

Yeah, you have to have really good marks.

There's limited spots but, yeah, you might wanna consider it.

I mean, they'd need to get status cards,

unless they're registered with Darryl's reserve.

No.

ROWAN: Yo!

My boy!

That's her Rowan face.

Oh, thank you, my son, thank you.

Did you get this one yourself?

No, a friend got it.

Friend better not be Henry.

Is she serious? Yeah.

RAYNA: But I was hoping to spend some time with him.

Just do it on the DL, like we all do.

(Gasping)

Myles, Myles, come and help me.

Oh, I gotta get to the airport.

Stacia's flight gets in at four o'clock.

Oh, I should probably head back to the clinic,

get some paperwork done.

It's Saturday, you're a nerd.

I have a campaign meeting, otherwise I'd stay and help too.

I was thinking that maybe this election,

you could give out free caskets,

you know, since that deep freezer thing didn't work out.

Or are you not ready to admit

that we are in the throes of an opioid epidemic?

Hey, don't be so mean to your little brother;

he's doing the best he can.

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of.

MAN ON RECORDING: It is very hot today.

(Translating in Anishinaabemowin)

(Speaking halting Anishinaabemowin)

(Speaking Anishinaabemowin)

(Speaking halting Anishinaabemowin)

(Slowly repeating sentence)

(Speaking Anishinaabemowin)

It is very cold today.

(Translating in Anishinaabemowin)

(Chattering over loudspeaker)

(Sobbing)

Are you okay? Mom?

Do you know this person?

Mom, this is Laura - my girlfriend.

Hi, Mrs. Keetch.

It's so good to finally meet you.

I've heard so much about you.

She was gonna be home alone this weekend

and I have my own room, so...

Okay, so why do you have my car? What's going on?

Let's just wait and talk when we have some privacy, okay?

Laura and I don' t have any secrets.

Oh.

Okay.

Well, your father came home on Thursday night

and told me that he lost all our money.

What?

W-what does that mean?

RAYNA: I don't know.

Oh, my God, is he here?

No.

Why didn't anyone tell me?

I would've gone home instead.

Stacia, you don't answer your fricking phone!

Why did you even come here?

What?

Isn't that more important?

This weekend is important, okay?

I'll go home tomorrow and I'll do what needs to be done,

but right now, we need to find you a place to stay.

What about the hotel?

Stacia, we don't have any money, all right?

We don't have any credit cards.

Myles and I are staying at Molly's,

but since you brought a friend,

you can't stay there.

I have my parents' credit card, I could just book us a room.

Oh, my God.

I'm just honestly so honoured to be a part of this.

It's my first Native American ceremony.

Oh, my God.

So, you just say you need a ride on Facebook

and someone comes to get you?

Pretty much, yeah.

For quick trips around the rez mostly.

Do you ever pay them?

Well, if someone needs a few bucks, I will and they'll ask,

otherwise, I bring food.

Oh, that's cool.

(Horn honking)

(Straining)

You okay?

Yeah, let's go.

Okay.

Weird that everything is booked for such a small place.

Awesome.

Oh wait, look at this, "Beezee Lodge".

Gross.

LAURA: It's right on the reservation.

RAYNA: Uh, we don't say that here.

What do you call it?

The rez.

It's right on the rez.

Really?

Yeah. I'm gonna call.

N-38.

3-8.

(Phone vibrating)

Karen speaking.

Hi, I just wanna book a room.

B-1!

Lonely one.

Yeah, you can take room two, key's under the mat.

O-74.

MAN: Bingo!

We have a bingo.

Hm.

I did not know this is here.

It's not terrible.

The lady said the key was under the mat.

I got this.

How does this affect me at Harvard?

Your father sold his Tesla to pay for the rest of your year.

Jesus, and what about Myles?

I don't know, Stace, I really don't know.

I can't believe he kept this from you.

Yeah.

Kinda feel like I'm getting it from all angles right now.

Are you serious?

I mean, you didn't tell me that you're gay.

I'd consider that a huge thing to keep from me.

Oh, my God, Mom.

First of all, I am not gay.

I'm sexually fluid.

I did try to tell you the last time we spoke,

but you just dominated the whole conversation.

"Molly this, Molly that."

I couldn't get a word in edgewise.

And you know what?

That makes sense.

It's probably exactly how Daddy felt.

He probably tried to talk to you,

but you've been on another planet.

Literally.

When did you get so mean?

(Cell phone ringing)

(Sighing)

Hello. Hi, Molly.

Yes, I picked her up.

She brought a... friend.

They're staying at the lodge beside the store.

Okay, I'll tell her.

Molly wants us to come for dinner.

I'll pick you both up at seven.

I got this.

?

(Thudding)

?

(Indigenous woman singing)

?

(Indigenous woman singing)

So, who are you?

Laura is, uh, Stacia's girlfriend.

(Clearing throat) Stacia, how, um-

how's Harvard?

It's been really good so far, but now that my dad's broke,

I don't know if I'll be able to stay.

Ow!

Your dad's broke?

Mom hasn't told you?

I...

I'm sure she had her reasons.

Could we speak about this after the ceremony?

I really don't want to get into it right now.

Yeah, yeah, let's do that.

So, that's why you needed to stay here?

No, of course not. I just-

Just another moocher,

like everyone else, eh?

I just thought that...

What?

This is in Ojibwe.

Well, yeah.

Your platform includes language reclamation,

so you should start walking the walk.

This is an event for my sister.

Rowan, this is really good stuff, trust me.

Your dad wrote it, people will love it.

(Speaking halting Anishinaabemowin)

(Speaking Anishinaabemowin)

I wanna thank the Lord, our God,

for bringing my daughter home.

My eldest daughter, Rayna,

she was stolen from us.

Stolen!

Uh...

This is an incredible twist of fate.

Please welcome my sister -

the newest member of Beezee -

to say a few words.

(Audience applauding)

(Breathing deeply)

Boozhoo.

Rayna N tishnikas.

(Translated Anishinaabemowin:) I am Bear Clan

from Binesizhaabose.

I've been practising that. (Chuckling)

It feels really good to say it.

First, I wanna thank my mother, Molly,

for never giving up hope.

I think your prayers gave me the strength...

to go on this journey and find my way back home.

Also, Miigwech to all of you,

for being here and supporting my family,

as we begin this journey together.

I was very lucky.

I grew up in a loving home...

...and I have two beautiful children.

You're not welcome here!

(Speaking Anishinaabemowin:)

You're the reason she was taken away in the first place!

(Speaking Anishinaabemowin)

Well, fine. Well, I'll go then.

(Speaking Anishinaabemowin)

Welcome home.

I'm sorry.

That was embarrassing.

What the hell is wrong with you?

What the hell is wrong with you, Mom?

That was not normal.

This is our family, Stacia.

Please be respectful.

No, this is your family, not mine.

I'm not from here. I'm from Toronto.

Remember that place where you left your husband

in his time of need?

Are you kidding me?

What kind of person just ups and leaves a situation like that

to hang out with a bunch of strangers?

I think you need to go back to Boston.

And how am I supposed to get to the airport?

You figure it out!

Hey.

Hey, you okay?

This is Nathan. He works for your uncle Rowan.

Pleased to meet you.

He said he can take us to the airport.

That would be great.

No problem.

What a shit show, eh?

What the hell was that?

As far as Molly's concerned, Henry is the enemy.

Don't take it personally.

What is it with those two?

The story I know is that, when you were taken,

Dad got super-traditional and Molly found Jesus,

and she felt like he wasn't supporting her

and she just got angrier and angrier and here we are.

There's just a lot of unresolved trauma between them.

She's so fragile;

it's... it's hard to be around.

At least you get to go home tomorrow.

Ugh! No idea what that's gonna be like.

MYLES: I can't wait to get home.

RAYNA: Me too. Me too.

MYLES: Is that- is that dad's truck?

Dad!

Took you guys long enough.

Hey, Rayna, you got a really good man here.

We were just having a heart-to-heart.

Oh, and I'm so sorry to hear

that you lost your house, my girl.

Molly...
