The Naskapi Indians of Labrador, Canada, live in small nomadic tribes or communities. Their lives depend on the food they hunt. If they did not find food, they starved to death. Their chosen leader relied upon his dreams to direct them to the land where the animals were. The dream was their guiding star.
Game is so scarce that only two or three families are able to hunt together during the long winter.
Growing numbers of people are fascinated by the dream world. From psychological scholars and analysts to spontaneous groups and cults, the dream has a compelling voice. Destruction was salvation. Perhaps this intellectual argument was the right one, but another type of argument will never end about whether the action was right or wrong. There is an inescapable uncertain moral factor in that decision.
