Hi-Ho Mistahey! is a 2013 National Film Board of Canada feature documentary film by Alanis Obomsawin that profiles Shannen's Dream, an activist campaign first launched by Shannen Koostachin, a Cree teenager from Attawapiskat, to lobby for improved educational opportunities for First Nations youth.
The film premiered on 7 September 2013 at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival. It was subsequently named first runner-up for the festival's People's Choice Award in the documentary category, behind Jehane Noujaim's The Square.
The film's title is Cree for "I love you forever." Obomsawin has said she heard about Koostachin's story from children's rights activist Cindy Blackstock. Obomsawin had been in the community of Attawapiskat working on this film when the Attawapiskat housing and infrastructure crisis broke. So she put this project aside and completed her film The People of the Kattawapiskak River, before completing Hi-Ho Mistahey!
The film was a shortlisted nominee for the Canadian Screen Award for Best Feature Length Documentary at the 2nd Canadian Screen Awards.

The film tells the story of both sides claiming the same land as their own. The Ndolilas family’s land was taken by the apartheid government in the 1970s without compensation, and ever since then they have been on a quest to get it back. Standing in their way are working class black homeowners who purchased portions of the Ndolila's land during apartheid. For the homeowners, the land and houses they have legally purchased are a reward for their hard work and the fulfillment of their hopes and dreams for a better life in the new democracy. For the Ndolilas, the land is part of their family legacy and hence deeply intertwined with their identity. Both sides have a legitimate right to the land, and the film encourages viewers to think about whose rights should prevail.
