Returning the Spirits is about A First Nations teenager who lands his first job as a night watchman in a city museum. One night, perplexed by strange noises, he encounters a raven that reveals their source: the spirits of Indigenous animal artifacts longing to return to their people. The raven, a spirit guide, assists him in returning these ancestral objects to Inuit, Haida, Cree, Métis, Blackfoot, Anishinaabe, Dene, and Mi'kmaq communities. As the teen embarks on this journey, the world opens up for the artifacts, the people they are returned to, and for him. This heartwarming tale intertwines adventure, cultural heritage, and self-discovery, celebrating the profound connection between identity and ancestral roots. Through this odyssey, the teen learns the importance of heritage and the powerful ties that bind us to our ancestors.
