When Akilak must travel a great distance to another camp to gather food,
she thinks she will never be able to make it. With a little help from
her grandmother's spirit, and her own imagination to keep her
entertained, Akilak manages to turn a long journey into an adventure.
Even though she at first feels that she will never be able to reach her
destination, she keeps her grandmother's assurance that her "destination
is not running away; it will be reached eventually" in mind and ends up
enjoying the journey that at first seemed so daunting.
