Myth of the Barrens is a true account of a young Metis woman's
discovery of the land and ancient spirits of the Canadian North.
Bren Kolson travels with a Dene elder in winter across the Barrens,
entering a world in which the landscape is both physical and
spiritual -- the sacred land of the ancestors. Kolson vividly
describes the challenges that lead her to a deeper understanding of
both the land and herself, as she discovers how to not only survive
but to thrive in this seemingly inhospitable landscape. Amid the
cold, isolation and demanding environment, Kolson explores the
balance of life and death, of hunter and hunted, even as she
awakens to the extreme beauty of the Barrens. Kolson's strong
narrative is complemented by photography that underscores the
physical wonders of the North and portrays a vanishing way of life
for First Nations people.
