The Neneks were nomadic reindeer herders. Katya's tribe had more than 100 reindeer. The animals needed careful tending. The tribe would stay in a location for only one or two weeks before moving the herd to fresh pastures. The reindeer would graze near the camp, eating the moss and lichen that grew under the snow. The tribe would travel north to the cold Arctic areas during the summers and south to the Taiga forests during the winters. Atuqtuaq and Ukik were camping with the reindeer in a large valley five miles away from the main campsite.

The sled raced along the forest undergrowth. The narrow runners were designed for travel on snow, boggy marshes and even dry ground. Blood, a large one-eyed Siberian husky, was leading the pack of six dogs that pulled the sled. He had lost his eye fighting a brown bear that had strayed into the Nenek camp. Smoky ran alongside the sled. Katya kept a wary eye around him. There was very little moonlight filtering through the forest canopy. Tall pine trees rose all around them, enveloping the speeding sled in a dark embrace. Although the dogs were experienced enough to safely navigate their way through the melting snow and to warn them of any danger, animal or man, Katya was cautious. 'These are dangerous times,' his father had said.

'This is no way to live,' complained Orinon, slumped on the sled beside Katya. 'I have been talking to Timothy. He says that in America there are shops that are larger than ten of our campsites put together. He says that if you stand at one end of these shops you cannot even see the other end. Inside, there are thousands of types of food. Just take this thing they have, it's called chips. They fry potatoes in oil and it comes in a hundred tastes!'

Katya nodded. 'I've heard of it. Kiara told me.'

Orinon smacked his lips. 'I want to go there.'

'But things are different there now,' said Katya.

Orinon shook his head somberly. 'Yes. If only Tuuq had come back from America we would know exactly what is happening there.'

'But he hasn't come back and that tells us something,' Katya muttered.
