Une famille inughuite se déplace dans un traîneau à chiens sur la vaste banquise du Groenland. Mais à cause de la fonte qui gagne du terrain, la glace cède et les chiens sont entraînés dans les eaux glaciales. Navarana, une Aînée à bord du traîneau, doit s'adapter aux changements sans précédent que connaissent tous les peuples de l'Arctique. Dans les années 1860, un de ses ancêtres, un shaman visionnaire venu de l'île de Baffin, au Canada, a entrepris un voyage légendaire et épique, et dirigé une migration inuite vers le Groenland. C'est la quête de ce shaman appelé Qitdlarssuaq qui a permis d'assurer une lignée aux ancêtres menacés de Navarana et d'introduire la technologie dans leur monde. Plus de 150 ans plus tard, Navarana se rend dans la patrie de son ancêtre afin de prendre contact avec ses cousins canadiens. Navarana accompagne des familles des deux régions dans leur expédition de chasse annuelle. Elle constate que ces deux groupes d'Inuits, qui ont des liens génétiques, se sont adaptés différemment aux influences extérieures et aux changements inévitables qui perturbent leurs traditions de chasse. Au gré de ses expériences, elle espère faire les choix qui assureront la survie de son peuple. Inspirée par son intrépide ancêtre et par les liens qui unissent encore ces deux communautés, Navarana est habitée par l'espoir en cette époque où les peuples du pôle Nord doivent affronter les défis sociaux et environnementaux les plus importants de leur histoire.

Vanishing Point

A dog team pulls an Inughuit family across the vast sea ice of Greenland. But with the terrain melting beneath them, the dogs break through the surface, plunging into frigid polar waters. Navarana, an elder and one of the passengers on this sled, is coming to terms with the unprecedented changes facing all Arctic peoples. In the 1860s, Navarana's visionary ancestor-a shaman from Baffin Island, Canada, named Qitdlarssuaq-embarked on a legendary and epic journey, leading an Inuit migration to Greenland. It was this shaman's quest that introduced vital bloodlines and technology to Navarana's beleaguered forbearers. Over 150 years later, Navarana travels to her ancestor's homeland to connect with her distant Canadian cousins. Navarana accompanies families from both regions on their annual hunting journeys. She witnesses how these two genetically-linked groups of Inuit have adapted differently to outside influences and to the inescapable changes that affect their hunting traditions. Through her experiences, she hopes to find the key to making the right choices for her people's survival. Navarana draws inspiration and hope from the ties that still bind these two communities, as well as from the legacy of her intrepid ancestor, at a time when circumpolar peoples are facing the greatest social and environmental challenges in their history.
