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 aquitted. Her daughter, Elisapee Karetak lives in Arviat, Nunavut and has spend many years tracing the events of her family's story.
