Birthright

Set in the British Columbia Frontier, Birthright follows the journey of Precious Conroy a mixed race Indigenous woman. Precious is adopted and raised by missionaries, and upon learning of her mixed race decides that she will not accept the judgments placed on her by society because of her Indigenous race. Precious is unaware she was sent away for schooling to avoid the shame and discrimination that would occur should the word get out that she is part Indigenous. She is pursued by the son of the local chief who is also mixed race descent, and the son of her adoptive parents. When it does get revealed she is part indigenous, she fights against the idea that, "Aboriginal people were incapable of looking after themselves" with youthful optimism, and the possibility of change.
