270 miles back to the west in Barrow, Malik is mending the frame of a canoe. And Nathan and Nua were with him.

"If you went back 10,000 years, our ancestors would be their umiak frame right here, just like this." Said Malik.

"At that time, Woolly Mammoths were around still." Said Nua. "Would be really great to see one alive."

"You know they have motor boats now, right, Grandpa?" Nathan reminded.

"Really?" Nua raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, boy." Said Adam's voice.

They turned and saw Adam and Aviva approaching them, and both were holding something.

"Look what I got, fresh off the cargo plane." Adam said holding a few CD's.

"What? What are they?" Nathan approached.

What do you have?" Nua asked.

"A little something for you." Aviva said.

"The next phase in your training." Adam answered.

"Awesome." Nathan excited.

"Def Leppard, Hysteria." Adam handing them to him. "Rattle and Hum by U2. And Guns N' Roses, Appetite for Destruction."

"Wow! Thank you so much." Said Nathan.

"And for you Nua, a little something to build and involving the Arctic." Aviva handing her a Lego Arctic 60193 Air Transport set that includes a Sabertooth.

"No way, cool!" Nua excitedly.

"And a little something extra big." Aviva handing an Arctic 60195 Mobile Exploration Base set including a Mammoth.

"Awesome, thank you so much." Said Nua.

"And for your Walkman." Adam holding a packet of double AA batteries.

"Batteries. Yes." Nathan taking them and then turned to his grandfather. "I gotta go. I got batteries. I'll be right back." he then rushes inside.

And then Nua rushes home to get started on her 2 gifts. "Thanks!"

"If we all got that excited about batteries, right?" Adam approached Malik. "Hey, so you going to this Whaling Captains meeting tonight? Seems like there's a lot riding on the outcome."

"They are expecting you, right?" Aviva asked.

"I put Roy in charge." Said Malik.

"Roy?" Adam a bit surprised. "Roy and Rachel, that's-that's gonna get ugly."

"I can almost picture it right now." Said Aviva.

"Malik, you know there's a lot of press here now." Said Adam. "And they don't understand your people, or what it take for you to survive."

"We don't need them to understand us." Said Malik.

"You may need them more than you think."

"Yeah, surely they can understand when time is given." Said Aviva.

Malik reminded silent for a moment. "I have work to finish."

Adam nodded understandably. "Okay."

"We understand." Aviva said.

And then the 2 begin to leave.

"Stay warm." Aviva said.

And Malik seemed uneasy.

Hours later, everyone was at the meeting. And right now, Rachel was arguing with Roy.

"Why won't you give a chance to get them out?" Rachel asked. "I have a barge that's just days away, but instead you want to k-kill a family? Four babies, for God's sake! For sport!"

"No, no. Hold on." Roy trying to reason with her. "It's what I feed my family. And it's what we feed our babies. The whale chooses the Whaler and they have chosen us."

"The whale told you this?" Rachel sarcastically. "Did it write you a letter?"

"Oh, dear." Martin said.

"Here we go." Koki worried.

"Dear Roy, I'd be honored if you would drag me up to the beach, harpoon me and slice me up." Rachel sarcastically teased.

"Hold-Hold on, here. Hold on." Roy thinking it was a joke.

"Best wishes, the whale." Rachel finished.

"No, no. What you're saying is ridiculous." Said Roy. "You're a white girl from out of town. You don't belong here! This is Inupiat country." The crowd agrees with him and claps.

"Roy, every Inupiat gets a huge stipend for the drilling rights to the oil for their land." Rachel said as some of the crowd turn to each other. "You can buy all the food that you want."

"Rachel, we have to hunt!" Roy said. "One day, that oil's gonna right run out, and when it does, the money will stop coming. If we don't teach our children how to feed themselves, they're gonna starve. And who's gonna feed them then? Are you?"

And then, there was a sound of doors opening. And they looked, and saw Malik in a heavy coat walking in. And they all turned to him, and Malik looks over to Roy. And after a moment, Malik nodded his head.

"Let's take a 5 minute break." Roy said to everyone.

Shortly after, Malik and the other Whaling Captains were in a room outside next of the meeting room discussing. Then Mailk glances over and saw Nathan with a camera guy showing him how it works.

"Hey, guys. Hey, guys." Mailk called to them. "Guys, listen to what I have to say." And then went quiet and listened to him. "Listen to what I have to say. You know the world has gotten bigger for us. And the outsiders have taken away so much. They moved to our land. They've even changed our way of life. But we still survive, right?" They all nodded. "But if we give them pictures of us killing those whales, they could take away our rights to hunt. And that would be our end."

"But maybe that's why we need to fight them." Said Roy. "Make them understand that we respect and honor whales. That the ocean is our garden. And that the whales that they keep us alive."

Malik shook his head. "All they will see is blood."

A few minutes later, they were all gathered back in the meeting.

"May I have your attention, please." Malik called. "Attention, please." Everyone soon turns to him, and then Mailk spoke a native language. "The Whaling Captains of Barrow have decided we're going to help free the whales!"

Everyone was surprised and amazed by that. And some even started clapping.

And Malik glanced to Adam, and he smiled.
