The Great Salish Heist

Graham Green , Tricia Helfer and Darrell Dennis

The First ever Indigenous Heist Movie

When their ancestors’ sacred objects are removed from their burial sites and stored in a museum, bad things happen. No one knows this better than Steve Joe, archaeologist for the Moquahat people. He used to be revered within his community, but his life went downhill after his son died in a car accident. He believes that the bad luck of his community is a result of the displacement of sacred artifacts. The only way to stop the suffering is to return the sacred objects to the people they were taken from. Steve, along with a rag-tag group of rebels from the Rez, hatches a plan to break into the museum and reclaim their stolen artifacts. They need money to bankroll the heist, so Steve contacts a Russian gangster, but the Russians want a piece of the action as well. Through a series of exciting twists and turns, the team sets out to steal the objects from the museum, outsmart the Russians and return the sacred objects to the Moquahat people.
