Twenty-eight members of the Winnemem Wintu tribe of northern California travel to New Zealand to reconnect with their salmon relatives which run in the rivers of that country's South Island. The tribal members greet the adult fish as they return to spawn, and release young fry to begin their lives. With the permission and assistance of members of the Ngai Tahu/Waitaha/Mamoe tribes of the Maori, the Winnemem hold four days of ceremony. And the two groups make plans to bring their salmon home to the McCloud River, where salmon have not run since 1945, when the Shasta Dam blocked their runs.
