Summary: "There is no one better to undertake the quest of tracing the metaphysical roots of Kwädąy Dän Ts'ìnchį, the Long Ago Person Found, than Delores Churchill, a master Haida weaver known in her home as Ilskyalas. Ellen Frankenstein of Sitka directed and produced Tracing roots together with Churchill. This is of distinct importance because although Churchill is the subject of the documentary, she is also one of its architects. It is her weaving, the art of it and the intellectual quest she lays before viewers that gives the film its humble humanity. The story begins over 300 hundreds of years ago when Kwädąy Dän Ts'ìnchį was traveling across a glacier in modern day British Columbia and died there. His remains, found in 1999, were well preserved by the ice, his body and belongings gave scientists clues about his route and his genetic roots. Among his things was a spruce hat. Churchill describes the occurrence of the archeologists' approach to the site where the Long Ago Person Found was"--From Anchorage Press website.
