Synopsis:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

When Annika got a sacred eagle feather from a Native American visiting Sweden she realized that it was a very sacred object which should probably not be in her \u00a0hands. What was she supposed to do with it? Should she return it and if so, to whom?<\/p>\n

Her quest to find the right owner took her deep into Indian communities, where she learned about the anger and sadness of traditional Natives.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201dFirst they killed our people. Then they took our land. Now they steal our faith.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

But the indians are fighting back. This time the fight is not mainly about protecting life and land.<\/p>\n

Instead they\u00b4re fighting to protect their culture.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

But would the feather find an owner?<\/p>\n
