Based on an Athabascan Indian legend passed along from many generations for mothers to daughters of the upper Yukon River Valley in Alaska, this is a suspenseful, shocking, ultimately inspirational tale of two old women, abandoned by their tribe during a brutal winter famine. Though these women have been known to complain more than contribute, they must now either survive on their own or die trying.
