Description

In myth, story, and song, the Inuit record day-to-day life and special events, celebrate their folk heroes, teach their children, and invoke the aid of the spirit world. And through the millennia and across an expanse that extends from the Polar ice fields south to the 60th Parallel, the Inuit have embodied their beliefs in art. This book combines contemporary Inuit sculpture with the traditional stories, songs, and oral reminiscences that give meaning and cultural context to this internationally popular and flourishing form. Photographs of extraordinary art works, all chosen from important collections including those of the Winnipeg Art Gallery and the National Gallery of Canada, demonstrate how closely the art and mythology of the North remain rooted in traditional culture.
