This is the story of one of the Athapaskan people of northern British Columbia. It is narrated, in part, by a young Tahltan teacher, who describes how his people adapted to and lived off the land. Of special interest is the history of the people, visually described by detailed artists' sketches and old photos. There is a lot of information packed into this set, but is it gently presented with good pacing. The shots of the land are striking. The musical background is also effective. There is no manual.

Recommended.
