Ryan Runearth wants to change the whole world. Not a small feat, but with his mother's help, Ryan believes the two of them can at least make the world a better place.

That road began on the Swan Valley Reserve in Manitoba where Vicki grew up and learned the legends and the traditions of the Saulteaux and Sioux people.
