It is winter and the people are starving. There are no fish. They must seek the help of a medicine man to save them.

The multimedia CD-Rom allow readers to read, see and hear the legends on Macs, PCs and on CD players. Although Dogrib Elder George Blondin is being acknowledged as the author/story teller of this legend. This story comes from several generations of Dene oral tradition. George told this story to his late son John Blondin, who presented and performed this story publicly to educate children. Barb Cameron, then curator of the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre recorded Johns' words.
