On a summer day in the late 1950s, after three days of combing the bush for a lost boy, a desperate search team in Prince Albert National Park called in Jim Settee. In just two hours, tracking over six miles of muskeg, Jim found the boy alive. Fifty years later, the filmmaker's search for how Jim brought that boy home leads her into our universal search for home, and into her own personal homecoming.

Jim Settee touched people's lives across central Saskatchewan, throughout an area including Montreal Lake, Big River and Sturgeon, Emma, Anglin and Waskesiu Lakes. He helped individuals and communities ‘come home' - working to create the Fish Lake Métis Settlement north of Prince Albert; keeping the oral history of First Nation and Métis communities alive; connecting people of diverse cultures through stories of their own heritage.

At 86, Jim came home to his own lifelong calling to become the oldest man to be ordained in the history of the Anglican Church - continuing a rich family legacy, andrenewing the church his father lead at Little Red River Reserve.

The Way Home is the story of Jim's remarkable life, deeply rooted in spirit, and in the land. The film is also a story of transformation, for the filmmaker and many others who were guided through Jim's wisdom and kindness. Settee's life and teachings, and his final message before leaving this world,are a gentle legacy for all people.
