(1990, 24 minutes)

Heiltsuk Hereditary Chief Frank Brown shares the story of his personal encounter with traditional Indigenous justice. As a juvenile offender facing a charge of armed robbery, Frank's family appealed to the courts to allow their intervention in the case. Instead of receiving punishment in a hard core juvenile detention centre in Vancouver, Frank was banished to an island for eight months. Ten years after the fact, Frank offered public thanks to the presiding judge, Cunliffe Barnett, the Heiltsuk community and his family through traditional ceremonial form, the washing-off ceremony (quxua).
