This short
documentary is the portrait of an 88-year-old woman who lives alone
in a log cabin without running water or electricity. Augusta is a
non-status Shuswap Indian living in the Williams Lake area of
British Columbia. She recalls past times, but lives very much in the
present. Self-sufficient, dedicated to her people, she spreads
warmth wherever she moves, with her songs and her harmonica.
