Teenage Indian boy and white boy get lost in the most desolate region of Canada

A young man is unexpectedly removed from his high school and has to go live in the north of Canada with his trapper uncle who he doesn't know. He doesn't know anything about anything pertaining to this life style or area and he has no desire to learn.

He travels even farther north with some Indians he just met. He ends up lost in the barrens of northern Canada with an Indian boy. They face tremendous hardships.

This is an excellent adventure movie for the whole family. I gave it a 9.
