Ách Áwé - Bears and Women
A story of small causes with great effect.
Nan tracks down an aging Tlingit clan leader in
order to record stories from his dying culture, which also is her
own.
She is told the story
of The Woman who Married the Bear
, about a young woman who, by insulting a bear, triggers a
series of magical events which turn her life inside
out.
Nan’s life is transformed as well, when her
confrontation with this story becomes a critical confrontation with
herself.
Ách Áwé - Bears and
Women is a poetic and comic piece about
the delicate balance of life and about encounters, which leave no
part unaltered.
