anyone read this book as a kid?

This is an adventure story that takes place in the northern Manitoba and the Southern west of the north west territories in 1935. It tells a coming of age tale of two boys in their late teens; one, a white boy who has recently lost his parents, the other a Cree boy from a tribe living nearby. The boys embark on a mission to relieve the starvation of a neighbouring village, occupied by the Chipewyans, but due to a series of unfortunate events become trapped above the tree line in Canada's northern Barren Lands during winter.
