Summary
In a Siberian village, Turk met a female Koryak shaman who invoked the help of a Spirit Raven to mend Turk's fractured pelvis. When the healing was complete, he was able to walk without pain. Turk, finding no rational explanation, sought understanding by traversing the frozen tundra where the shaman was born, camping with bands of reindeer herders, and recording stories of their lives. 2009
