Terrifying & True | The Vanishing Village of Angikuni Lake: Arctic Mystery and UFO Folklore
A remote Arctic camp. Tents standing open in the wind. A half-finished mitten, needle still threaded—like someone stood up mid-stitch and never returned. The legend of Angikuni Lake is one of the most chilling “vanishing village” mysteries ever told: an Inuit camp along the Kazan River corridor in Nunavut—found eerily intact… but empty.
In the campfire version, everything is wrong in the most cinematic way: food left behind, supplies untouched, dogs silent on their lines, and even a grave disturbed—stones set carefully in place, yet the body gone. Then come the rumors that push the story over the edge: strange lights over the tundra, a presence in the winter sky, and the unsettling feeling that whatever happened didn’t flee in panic… it simply removed the people.
Tonight, we tell the story as it’s been repeated for decades—cold, vivid, and terrifying—then we ease back into daylight and examine how a single newspaper mystery can snowball into “fact,” why records don’t always match the retellings, and how to treat Inuit life and northern history with respect while still delivering a killer scare. If you love unsolved mysteries, UFO folklore, Arctic survival horror, and legends that feel like they could be waiting just beyond the edge of the firelight… this one’s for you.
Inside this episode:
- The legend, full volume: the empty camp, abandoned sewing, and “life paused mid-breath” details
- The dogs: the image that became the story’s anchor
- The grave: why that moment turns “abandoned” into “impossible”
- Lights over the ice: how the tale mutates into UFO/abduction folklore
- The reality check: what holds up, what doesn’t, and why the legend persists
- A responsible landing: keeping the chills without turning real people into props
We’re telling that story tonight.

1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:39.759
M what you were about is believed to be based
2
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:49.479
on witness accounts, testimonies, and public record. This is terrifying
3
00:00:50.079 --> 00:01:01.119
and true truth. On a frozen corridor or of Canada's
4
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:06.000
Far North, a story has traveled for nearly a century,
5
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:12.239
passed from newspapers to pulp collections to late night conversations
6
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:17.920
where the dark feels a little closer. It's the tale
7
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:26.159
of an Arctic camp discovered intact, undisturbed, and inexplicably empty.
8
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:32.040
Some say the people fled, Others insist they were taken
9
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:38.200
by something that moved through the night without leaving tracks.
10
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:44.200
Investigators and skeptics have questioned the tale for decades, but
11
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:49.319
the legend remains a place where ordinary life ended mid
12
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:56.840
motion and the silence that followed felt unnatural. Tonight we
13
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:03.719
examine the vanishing village of Angicuni Lake, a cold spot
14
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:09.360
in the world where legend and fact often collide, but
15
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:14.599
the one constant is the fear that it imposes on
16
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:21.759
those who listen. So get comfortable, put on a warm blanket.
17
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:41.520
We're telling that story tonight. The tundra doesn't scream, it
18
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:47.159
doesn't need to. It just waits, white and wide and
19
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:54.759
patient until you understand just how small you are. Angicuni
20
00:02:54.960 --> 00:03:00.960
Lake lies far north in Canada, strung along Kazan River
21
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:07.360
corridor in what's now the Kunavut's Kilvalik region. In winter,
22
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:11.639
the lake becomes a lid of hard ice, the kind
23
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:16.039
that creaks like a living thing. When the wind presses down.
24
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:21.240
The sky can feel too close, and the silence is
25
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:29.080
so complete that a single bootstep sounds almost like a confession. Now,
26
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:35.800
imagine walking toward a camp you visited before. You expect smoke,
27
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:42.400
You expect movement. You expect the quick, excited barking of
28
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:51.879
sled dogs announcing a stranger's approach. Instead nothing. A tent
29
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:56.080
flap taps in the wind, open like a mouth that
30
00:03:56.240 --> 00:04:00.199
forgot how to speak. A cooking pot sits near a
31
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:05.840
fire pit, cold now, but arranged as if someone meant
32
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:11.000
to eat. Inside one tent, a mitten lies half finished,
33
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:16.040
the needle still threaded through the wool, like the maker
34
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:24.000
simply stood up mid stitch and never sat down again. Outside,
35
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:28.680
dog teams are still tied to their lines, not sleeping,
36
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:37.720
not resting, dead, starved, frozen in place. And then, as
37
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:42.519
if the Arctic wants one last flourish, there's a grave,
38
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:50.720
stones carefully arranged around it, undisturbed, the earth opened anyway,
39
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:58.319
and the body is gone. That is the legend of
40
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:04.439
Angicuni Lake. An Inuit camp that vanished so suddenly, that
41
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:09.480
supper was left to cool, and sewing was left unfinished,
42
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:15.839
an entire community erased in a single heartbeat of northern light.
43
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:22.560
But what happened to them? And why? What is fact
44
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:28.079
and what is fiction? If you're going to build an
45
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:34.399
unforgettable disappearance, you set it somewhere people can't easily verify.
46
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:42.720
Angkouni Lake is real, remote rocky shoreline Cariboo Country, a
47
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:48.079
river route landscape where lakes and crossings form natural corridors.
48
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:52.879
It's the kind of place that, in nineteen thirty felt
49
00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:56.199
like the far edge of the world to anyone reading
50
00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:01.279
a newspaper in the south. And in the legend, that
51
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:06.680
distance is a character all of its own. It's the
52
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:10.959
reason the story can be told with certainty and dread,
53
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:17.120
but without the usual clutter of details, street names, neighbors,
54
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:23.879
official timelines. The legend begins with a fur trapper named
55
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:30.240
Joe Label. In the classic telling, LaBelle isn't some clueless tourist,
56
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:34.519
He's a working man who knows the cold. He knows
57
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:38.519
how far a bad decision can carry you out there,
58
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:44.439
and he knows this camp near Angicooney Lake. He stopped
59
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:50.800
there before, traded there before, warmed himself there before. The
60
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:55.759
people know him, they've welcomed him. It's a reliable point
61
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:59.639
of human life in a landscape that is otherwise all
62
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:06.439
wind and distance. One day in late nineteen thirty, la
63
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:11.399
Belle heads toward the camp looking for shelter. As he
64
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:16.480
closes in, he realizes something's wrong before he can put
65
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:23.000
a finger on it. No dogs bark, no voices, no movement.
66
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:29.720
He calls out, nothing answers. He steps into the camp.
67
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:35.839
The first thing he notices is how normal everything looks.
68
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:42.079
That's the hook. The tents are up, the supplies are there,
69
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:48.240
tools are stacked, a few small fires appear recently used.
70
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:53.519
The camp in no way looks destroyed. It looks like
71
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:58.759
it's on paws. Like time stopped in the middle of
72
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:08.040
a sentence, LaBelle checks the first tent empty, the next empty.
73
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:14.680
In some retellings there are six tents, in others more.
74
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:19.560
Either way, the effect is the same. The camp is
75
00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:24.959
built for people who aren't there. And then the details
76
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:32.080
begin to twist the knife. They're sewing, unfinished clothing and garments,
77
00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:36.240
mid stitch, a needle left in place, as if the
78
00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:42.399
person meant to come right back. There's food, meat described
79
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:47.240
as left out, or stew described as left on a fire.
80
00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:53.000
Some versions insist the fire was still warm, that smoke
81
00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:59.559
still curled, that the meal was still cooking. The image
82
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:05.240
is on almost too perfect, domestic life interrupted at the
83
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:13.200
most ordinary moment. Next comes the detail about weapons. In
84
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:19.080
one version, rifles are lined up and untouched, left behind,
85
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:24.039
as if every hunter decided at once that they no
86
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:29.840
longer needed food or defense. In another version, the weapons
87
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:34.759
are missing, taken in haste. Either way, the story pushes
88
00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:40.080
you toward the same conclusion, whatever happened here did not
89
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:47.399
follow the rules. Then LaBelle steps outside and sees the
90
00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:52.600
dog lines. If you've never been around sled dogs, understand
91
00:09:52.720 --> 00:10:01.039
that they represent transportation, warmth, hauling, power, survival in the Arctic.
92
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:07.120
Dogs aren't an accessory, they're a lifeline. They are also loud,
93
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:13.159
social creatures, hard to ignore and hard to silence. But
94
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:18.360
in the legend, the dogs are silent because they're dead.
95
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:27.840
Seven teams, still tethered, still harnessed, dead, from starvation. This
96
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:32.840
is the detail that makes listeners sit forward. People can
97
00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:38.159
leave supplies, people can flee without packing, but who leaves
98
00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:43.879
their dogs to die, especially when they're the main source
99
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:50.039
of transportation. The story presents it as proof of suddenness
100
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:56.200
and terror. The villagers didn't just decide to move, They
101
00:10:56.200 --> 00:11:01.600
were forced, they were taken, or they fled so blindly
102
00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:05.840
that they forgot the most basic rule of survival in
103
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:12.320
the Arctic, you do not abandon your dogs. LaBelle walks
104
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:19.320
the perimeter, looking for tracks, footprints, sled marks, draglines, anything.
105
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:25.720
The story says, he finds none or none that matter,
106
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:32.440
or none that lead anywhere, and then he finds the
107
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:38.000
aforementioned grave, a circle of stones and opening in the earth,
108
00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:46.200
the body missing the stones, undisturbed. The legend insists an
109
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:50.759
animal couldn't have done this. The grave looks carefully opened
110
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:54.399
by hands that knew what they were doing, and then
111
00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:59.679
carefully left behind, as if whatever stole the body didn't
112
00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:03.559
want to leave behind a mess. At this point, the
113
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:11.159
camp has shifted from abandoned to just wrong. LaBelle panics
114
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:15.480
in the story. As told, he runs hard back the
115
00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:21.320
way he came, toward the telegraph lines, toward an RCMP detachment,
116
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:25.919
toward any form of authority that can make the world
117
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:32.159
feel sane again. He reports what he saw, an Inuit
118
00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:38.720
camp at Angicouni Lake, empty dogs, dead, sewing, abandoned, a
119
00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:47.720
grave opened. The legend says, the authorities respond immediately, uniforms,
120
00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:52.440
dog teams, searchers moving across the ice, men scanning the
121
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:57.799
white horizon for smoke or movement. And here the story
122
00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:05.240
takes its most cinematic step. In some versions, the searchers
123
00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:11.120
see strange lights, but not the familiar aurora that ripples
124
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:18.159
in high curtains, but low pulsing glows, blue green flashes,
125
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:24.480
a silent presence, something in the sky that doesn't behave
126
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:29.759
like weather. This is the moment the legend mutates into
127
00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:34.600
an abduction story. It is the place where the imagination leaps.
128
00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:41.080
The people didn't run away, they were collected. Sometimes the
129
00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:46.799
story adds a ship in the distance, dark, impossible, moving
130
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:51.559
where no ship should move. Sometimes it adds a humming sound.
131
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:56.559
Sometimes it adds the idea of a beam. It depends
132
00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:01.120
on the storyteller, because by now where fully in the
133
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:05.759
land of folklore. But even if you strip all of
134
00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:10.159
that away, you're left with a scene that feels like horror,
135
00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:16.720
a camp that appears lived in a life interrupted mid stitch,
136
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:21.759
dog teams dead on their lines, a grave opened, it's
137
00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:29.000
dead removed, and no human beings anywhere. And then comes
138
00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:33.840
the detail the legend always saves for last, the one
139
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:41.039
that turns the whole scene from abandoned into impossible, because
140
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:45.519
LaBelle isn't just staring at empty tents, He's staring at
141
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:50.120
a place where life stopped mid breath. That's when he
142
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:55.399
realizes the most frightening thing of all, whatever happened here
143
00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:02.200
did not leave in a hurry. It left nothing behind.
144
00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:14.120
Let's keep one foot in the scary version and one
145
00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:19.879
foot in reality, because here is an uncomfortable truth. In
146
00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:24.519
the far North. Movement can look mysterious if you don't
147
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:28.360
understand the rhythm of the land and the life on
148
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:35.720
it in you at Families historically traveled seasonally, following caribou migrations,
149
00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:42.120
fishing cycles, weather, and social networks. Camps could be temporary,
150
00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:49.120
established just for a season, abandoned and revisited to an outsider.
151
00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:53.960
A camp might appear permanent because the tents are familiar,
152
00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:59.320
because the fire pits are used, because supplies are stored,
153
00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:04.200
but a camp can also be between uses or recently
154
00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:09.720
vacated for reasons that make perfect sense from a local perspective.
155
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:15.440
So if we momentarily accept that LaBelle truly found an
156
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:20.919
empty camp. The first question is simple. Was it really
157
00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:26.320
a village the way southern newspapers imagined or was it
158
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:32.159
a small camp along a travel corridor. In the earliest
159
00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:37.559
known telling, it's a small camp, six tents about twenty
160
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:43.919
five people. That matters because twenty five people can relocate quickly,
161
00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:49.399
especially if they have a reason. So what reasons could
162
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:56.240
exist that still allow for a genuinely unsettling scene. Whether
163
00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:59.960
would be the most obvious one. The Arctic can tell
164
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:05.359
turn on you and fast whiteouts, pressure cracks, sudden freeze
165
00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:09.319
ups that make travel dangerous. If a group decided to
166
00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:13.759
move quickly to safer ground, maybe toward a known wintering
167
00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:19.960
spot or a more protected inlet, they could leave in haste.
168
00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:25.200
But the dog teams are the problem that is hard
169
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:29.720
to solve. That detail is the anchor of the legend
170
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:36.839
because it's the least compatible with normal relocation. Dogs are
171
00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:43.640
not left behind. So let's explore some grounded possibilities that
172
00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:49.720
still fit a scary vibe. Number One, the dog teams
173
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:55.359
were already compromised. If disease or poisoning affected the dogs,
174
00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:59.960
or if a storm or scarcity made feeding them impossible,
175
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:05.599
the camp could face a brutal decision. A starving winter
176
00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:10.279
with sick dogs is a disaster. People could attempt to
177
00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:14.920
move without them, especially if they could travel by other means,
178
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:21.000
on foot, by sled, improvised, or by joining another group.
179
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:28.319
Number two misinterpretation. A trapper sees dead dogs and assumes
180
00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:33.799
they were left to starve, But perhaps they died rapidly
181
00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:40.279
from exposure, illness, or a single catastrophic event. Perhaps the
182
00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:45.559
dogs were dead but not starved over time the way
183
00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:51.000
the legend frames it. Number three the best friend and
184
00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:58.279
arch nemesis of legend exaggeration. This is where folklore enters.
185
00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:02.799
A report might begin with the camp was empty, and
186
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:07.799
some dogs were dead and quickly become all the dog
187
00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:12.400
teams were tied up and starved, because that's the detail
188
00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:17.519
that makes the story unforgettable. The same is true of
189
00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:20.799
the pot on the fire and the needle in the
190
00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:26.400
mitten imagery. That's a classic interruption tableau, like a movie
191
00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:31.480
set designed to signal sudden disappearance. It's the kind of
192
00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:37.279
detail storytellers love because it tells you instantly how to
193
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:43.599
feel now the grave in the legend it's opened and empty.
194
00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:48.480
That implies human action, either by someone from the camp
195
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:56.400
moving remains, or someone hostile committing desecration, or something supernatural
196
00:19:56.759 --> 00:20:01.799
taking the dead. But in real art conditions, graves can
197
00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:08.839
be disturbed for many reasons animals, erosion, ice, heave, freeze,
198
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:15.839
thaw cycles, even relocation of remains for cultural or practical reasons,
199
00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:21.599
especially when the ground conditions make burial difficult. A grave
200
00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:26.079
with stones is not a vault, it's a marker in
201
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:30.599
a harsh landscape. And again the legend insists the stones
202
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:37.319
were undisturbed, which is storytelling shorthand for this wasn't an animal.
203
00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:46.240
But storytelling shorthand is not field documentation. So where does
204
00:20:46.279 --> 00:20:51.039
that leave us? If you want a natural explanation, the
205
00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:55.119
simplest is that the camp relocated and the stranger who
206
00:20:55.200 --> 00:21:02.200
found it interpreted ordinary absence as extraordinary disappearance. If you
207
00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:08.680
want a darker human explanation, you can imagine coercion or violence,
208
00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:13.880
but the legend rarely includes evidence of struggle, and real
209
00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:19.599
violence usually leaves evidence, which is why the legend turns
210
00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:28.319
to the sky, UFOs lights silent presences, because the supernatural
211
00:21:28.359 --> 00:21:34.519
explanation preserves the perfect cleanliness of the scene. It explains
212
00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:38.240
why there are no tracks, It explains why there are
213
00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:44.359
no bodies, It explains why the camp looks paused in time.
214
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:51.400
But there is one more possibility, one that's less paranormal
215
00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:57.920
and more unsettling, albeit in a different way. What if
216
00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:03.119
the mystery is not what happened at Angicuni Lake, but
217
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:08.519
what happened in the telling. Because when you start looking
218
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:16.640
for records, the Angicuni story behaves like smoke, visible, dramatic,
219
00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:23.160
and impossible to hold. And that's where the fear shifts,
220
00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:27.240
not to a monster in the sky or a shadow
221
00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:34.480
in the snow, but to something colder. What if the
222
00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:40.480
vanishing village didn't vanish on the tundra, What if it
223
00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:53.079
vanished into print. Now here's the pivot moment, and it
224
00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:58.599
is important to handle it carefully, because the landing shouldn't
225
00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:04.480
kill the fun, it should sharpen it. The earliest widely
226
00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:08.359
cited source for the Angie CuNi Lake story is a
227
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:13.359
newspaper article published in late nineteen thirty by a journalist
228
00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:18.480
named M. E. Kelleher. In the article, Kelleher describes Joe
229
00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:23.880
Labelle's discovery of an empty Inuit camp near Angie Cuney Lake,
230
00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:30.000
six tents, around twenty five missing people, and he sells
231
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:36.359
it as a mystery quote stranger then fiction. That phrase
232
00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:40.119
matters because it tells you what the piece is trying
233
00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:45.039
to be. Not a police report, not a field journal,
234
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:52.559
not an official investigation summary, a mystery story. And here's
235
00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:57.160
what tends to happen with mystery stories that involve remote
236
00:23:57.160 --> 00:24:01.400
places and indigenous people in the US early twentieth century,
237
00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:07.839
they become a kind of northern theater. The details are
238
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:12.599
chosen for mood, the distance is used as proof, and
1
