At Igloolik (“place of houses”) in the Eastern Arctic wilderness at the dawn of the first millennium, Qulitalik bids goodbye to his sister Panikpak, wife of Kumaglak, promising to come if she calls for help in her heart. She gives him her husband’s rabbit’s foot for spiritual power.
In a flashback, the community is visited by the strange shaman Tungajuaq. During a spiritual duel with the visitor, the camp leader Kumaglak dies. The visitor removes the walrus-tooth necklace from Kumaglak’s body, and puts the necklace around the neck of Kumaglak’s son Sauri, who thus becomes camp leader. Much later, the shaman’s magic has poisoned the community with hatred.
