V središču gostih gozdov Britanske Kolumbije, jesenski veter z rahlim pridihom snega prinaša tišino v majhno, tesno povezano domorodno skupnost.

In the heart of the dense forests of Britanska Kolumbija, the autumn wind with a slight hint of snow brings silence to a small, tightly-knit indigenous community.
