In 1967, Goldstein traveled to the Arctic to meet the Dina. She quickly realized that the tribe was on the verge of extinction. The Dina had been decimated by disease, warfare, and the encroachment of modern civilization. Goldstein knew that she had to act quickly to preserve the Dina's culture and history.

Over the next 30 years, Goldstein made numerous trips to the Arctic to study the Dina. She lived with the tribe for months at a time, learning their language and customs. She also collected thousands of artifacts from the Dina, including clothing, tools, weapons, and religious objects.
