The author, a Chipewyan Dene, describes his efforts to protect the caribou native to his homeland in the Northwest Territories, discusses how he helps scientists monitor the health and migration of the caribou, and shares creation stories that tell how his people are decedents of the caribou.

It's December 1997, and a man-eating Siberian tiger is on the prowl outside a remote village in Russia's Far East. The tiger isn't just killing people, it's annihilating them, and a team of men and their dogs must hunt it on foot through the forest in the brutal cold. As the trackers sift through the gruesome remains of the victims, they discover that these attacks aren't random. An absolutely gripping tale of man and nature that leads inexorably to a final showdown in a clearing deep in the taiga.
