His name means "strong and wise man." And he is. His community, Alaska and the world have an eloquent spokesman in Nelson Kanuk.

Love this story. There is an issue with the audio cutting out. I've tried going over sections and it seems to be a repeatable problem. You might want to contact the Audience Awards to remedy this. Despite that I am voting for this film.
