We make mistakes. Accidents happen. And, sometimes these accidents have tragic results. In “Boonenndizwin”, Barbara Nolan gives us a compassionate glimpse into the heart of a loving brother who has made one such tragic mistake. How do we face our family after our error has caused them such suffering? How do we return to our community after our actions have resulted in profound loss for the ones we love? And, perhaps most importantly, as the brother in this video wonders, how do we forgive ourself?
