- Summary:
- "This video is a fascinating documentary about life in the most northern community in the United States, where hundreds of miles above the Arctic Circle, the Inupiaq people have survived and thrived. Local narrators Fannie Akpik and Brad Weyiouanna take us on a journey to Barrow and Alaska's North Slope, where subsistence whaling and artistic traditions centuries old remain at the center of life in a very modern world"--Container.
