The town of Old Crow, Yukon is virtually empty because its residents are all searching for the source of their winter meat: the 120,000-strong Porcupine Caribou herd. This dependence of man on beast has persisted for more than 10,000 years. But for the hunters of Old Crow, there is a problem: there is oil under the calving grounds on the other side of the border, in Alaska, and the U.S. government wants to drill. This could mean the end of the caribou, the end of the migrations, and the end of Old Crow.
