After Ahiahia’s parents are murdered in their igloo, he is raised by his loving grandmother, who teaches him the traditional ways of his people and makes his clothing out of animal skins. To keep him safe, she performs a protective chant over his dog, as well as the clothing, the necklace of amulets, and the bows and arrows that she has constructed for him. When enemies in the camp attack Ahiahia, he is able to evade their arrows with amazing gymnastics and grace.
