content: Edited film directed by David Devries follows the Porcupine herd of caribou on their spring migration northward and their fall migration south. Beginning at the border between the Yukon territory in Canada and Alaska, the herd migrates through the Ogilvie Mountains across the Porcupine River to the Arctic tundra. There, they calve and feed on vegetation, which will sustain them on their journey south. The film also describes the Indians reliance on caribou meat and hides.
