From the fly leaf: "When a spoiled young chief's daughter sets out to collect berries, she sees no reason to sing bear songs. Twice the berries in her basket mysteriously spill, but still she refuses to show respect for the powerful bears. As darkness falls two men appear, and the girl joins them, thinking they will lead her home. Instead, they guide her to the bears' village. There the bears confront the young woman, challenging her thougtless, haughty ways."
