Etthen Heldeli: Caribou Eaters travels with Dene First Nations people in Canada's north, as they search for the species so vital to every aspect of their lives - the barren-ground caribou. The documentary is a celebration of their rich ancient culture, and a visual document lamenting their traditions that could vanish, if the caribou disappear. In subarctic Western Canada, there are three caribou herds: the Ahiak, Qamanirjuaq, and Beverly. These animals represent the largest and last great mammal migration on the North American continent. Once numbering in the millions, the Ahiak and Qamanirjuaq herds have been declining in alarming numbers over the last twenty years, while the Beverly herd's migration routes have contracted so much that they no longer cross into the provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba. This means that the Dene people of northern Saskatchewan, who depend on caribou for meat and hides, are now forced to travel hundreds of kilometres north into the Northwest Territories and Nunavut to reach the herds.

This program examines the visceral nature of war and the bravery of Native American veterans who valiantly served in the United States military during the wars of the 20th century, and explores the paradox of these proud veterans who chose to fight for a country that considered them to be outside the American mainstream. These gripping stories are told against the backdrop of positive and negative themes familiar to Native Americans -- the warrior ethic, prejudice, forced assimilation, poverty, cultural pride, redemptive acts and healing -- through the prism of what it means to be "ogichidaa," one who protects and follows the ways of the warrior. "Way of the Warrior" uses historical footage, period photographs and sound effects of war laid next to more comfortable stateside settings of family and friends, reflecting the complexity of Native American warriors' motivations.
