P'ésk'a runs through his village to deliver the special tray for the First Salmon Ceremony, when his people give thanks to the river for the salmon it brings.

Framed as an exploration of what life was like one thousand years ago, P'ésk'a and the First Salmon Ceremony describes the customs of the Sts'ailes people, an indigenous group who have lived on the Harrison River in British Columbia for the last 10,000 years.
