Summary:

Following a bloody conflict between her clan and that of the "men from the land of ice," Maïna (Roseanne Supernault) the daughter of Grand Chief Mishtenapuu (Graham Greene), sets off on a mission to rescue a captured boy - little knowing her actions will result in the poignant meeting of two of America's founding nations. A truly epic tale of adventure and romance in a time before European contact. Maïna is a thrilling tale of Inuit and Innu culture that is not be missed. -- back of container.
