Beautiful pre contact story. I'd love to know more about the origins of the storyline, perhaps in mythology?, but it's a wonderful examination of cultures, identities, trust, relationships. Universal themes explored 'authentically' through the Innu and Inuit people of Labrador and Arctic Canada. The creators showed intense loyalty to detail. People wear hats when it's cold. Lovely dialogue between the Inuit friend that guided Maina's adaptation to the Arctic and herself. Beautiful camera-work.
