Description

Seal Dance / Snowboarding Qyah Style. Molly and her mother take Grandpa Nat on a flight to the Aleutian Islands to visit Nat's friends studying seismic activity at a volcano, but air pockets from an incoming storm force them to land on an island short of their intended destination. Luckily for Molly, she gets to experience something more exciting than a volcano: she meets Nadia, the daughter of her mother's old friend, and Nadia tells her about how she's learning the Seal Dance (with some difficulty) for an upcoming tribal dance scheduled for the evening. Nadia also tells Molly about how the dance steps of her people were almost lost to time during the US military occupations of the Aleutians during World War Two and how they're being brought back. While accompanying Grandpa Nat to study the seismic equipment of the island, Molly and Nadia encounter seals, and when the storm finally hits, forcing the group to take shelter in a shack, it will take some help from the storm to help Nadia perfect her seal dance...and bring in a bigger surprise for Molly as well/Molly and Randal are making videos of activities in their hometowns, with the intent of making their hometowns look more exciting...
