The village of Old Crow and the people from the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation are located on the banks of the Porcupine River 80 miles inside the Arctic Circle. The film shows the lifestyles and spirit of the people of Old Crow, reflected in the writings of Gwich'in Edith Josie and the stories told by Elder Kenneth Nukon. Alanis Obomsawin wanted to document life in the community before the proposed Mackenzie Valley Pipe line was to go through. "Everything will be changed -- it will never be the same again".
