Journey To Spirit Island

Superlative photography by Vilimos Zsigismond highlights the family-oriented outdoor drama Journey to Spirit Island.

Set in the Pacific Northwest, the films stars Bettina Bush as Maria, a teenaged Native American girl iving on a reservation, has been brought up in two worlds.

Nurtured in the old ways by her grandmother, a tribal elder and shaman, her other world is the modern one of school, television and friends who have little interest in the old Indian ways.

During a summer kayaking trip Maria, her brother and two young friends from Chicago become caught up in a strange adventure involving the tribe's sacred burial island, an ancient curse and a magic canoe.

Their survival depends on Maria's ability to meet the challenge of bringing the gap between the old Indian ways and the contemporary world.

@TheCharacterActor That's what I would like to know. I have the VHS tape of it but I don't have any way of recording it so I can upload it on youtube.

I remember watching this when I was around 10 or 11 years old. Im from England, so watched this on Sky tv. The music was great too. Kinda reminds me of The Witching of Ben Wagner.

OMg I remember this movie. The good old days when The Disney Channel didn't play Hannah Montana and all that other bullcrap.
