What happens when a normal family living 300 km from the Arctic Circle no longer gets their groceries from the supermarket? This is the tale of Suzanne Crocker who, despite her teen-age children’s skepticism and her husband’s reluctance, the stiff Yukon temperatures and related problems, manages to seek through with her plan to feed her family only on what can be caught, fished, cultivated, and harvested. Her radical choice expresses her determination to discover new horizons for the future and explore lifestyle models fallen into disuse. The family’s experiment extends to include the entire community, providing the occasion to rediscover native population history and identity.
