1986年、北海道・屈斜路湖を望む美幌峠で「チロンヌㇷ゚カムイ イオマンテ（キタキツネの霊送り）」が行われた。狩猟民であるアイヌの伝統的な考えでは、動物は自らの肉や毛皮をみやげにして人間の国へやってくる。人々は、キタキツネをわが子のように育てると、祈りを捧げ、歌や踊りで喜ばせ、みやげを背負わせて神の国へ送る。不世出の伝承者と言われる日川善次郎エカシが、この珍しい神事を75年ぶりに甦らせる。その入魂の祈りを、アイヌ語研究の第一人者中川裕氏が全てアイヌ語で書き起こし、現代日本語訳をつけた。 （2021年/1986年撮影/日本/105分/16:9/カラー） 【監督】北村皆雄 【語り】豊川 容子 【音楽】豊川容子＋nin…
