    So lets start with where. That's not a hard one to figure out, my evidence: the wildlife, the weather, the people, and their culture. The moose in the film have extremely Canadian accents, so perhaps it's Canada. There was an Orca in the ocean, they are well known for being Alaskan animals. So possibly it's Alaska, for sure it's very northern. There were countless icebergs, that supports the idea of the far north. The people seem to be based on Inuits (native to the general area of Alaska), and they used kayaks, which are not found south of Canada. (The Spokane Indians used canoes.) Therefore I believe I'm correct in stating that, this all took place in either Alaska or Canada, after all they are connected.…
