Summary: During the 1950's famine in the Canadian Arctic, Kikkik, an Inuk woman, killed a man in self-defense and then found herself in the position of having to leave two of her five children on the tundra. She was tried for murder and criminal negligence and subsequently acquitted. Kikkik E1-472 focuses on the impact to the Ahiarmiut community when they were relocated - the tragedy that led to the famine and the deaths at Henik Lake in the winter of 1958. Kikkik E1-472 unwraps the memory of the few surviving elders, and Elisapee's siblings Annacatha and Karlak.
