There are tracks of small feet leading away from the hut.Ī new leader is chosen, in a manner I found interesting. A small carving is found in the dirt outside the hut. The Hama is found dead in her hut, stabbed in the back with a very sharp caribou antler. Hunting parties go out and are unsuccessful in getting any meat. They cannot stay where they are anymore and survive. The leader of the tribe, the Hama, tells her people that they will move their village in the spring to try to find lands which have more mammoth herds which provide their food and clothing. They have oral stories of previous times of ice, but do not realize immediately that the thinning of herds and disappearance of nearby tribes are connected to this oncoming great disastrous change.
