Profiles of five Native women from across Canada. Of varied ages and backgrounds, each one has achieved success in a variety of careers: as the Yukon legislature's Native woman minister, as a deck hand on a fishing boat, as a teacher, a lawyer, and an Indian Chief. Each woman speaks of how she got to where she is today, and attests to the importance of Native culture - its values, art, and spiritual beliefs – in helping her to develop a sense of self and seeing her through rough times. "Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief" is part of the First Peoples' TV series made possible by DreamCatchers, a non-profit organization working to bring Native films to a wider audience.
