Ada Blackjack

In 1921, four men and one woman ventured deep into the Arctic in a top-secret expedition to Wrangel Island. Only one would survive---Ada Blackjack, an Alaskian Inuit. She had been hired to sew and cook for the expedition and was happy to get the work as she had to support her young son. But soon the expedition went horribly wrong and all four men eventually went missing or died. Ada was left alone on the island to fend for herself. Two years later she was miraculously rescued and hailed as a heroine for her survival under impossible conditions.
