Pudlo Pudlat started drawing for the Cape Dorset print cooperative in 1959 or 1960. In 1990 he was the first Inuit to be honored by a retrospective exhibition at The National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, “Pudlo: Thirty Years of Drawing.”
Inukshuks, the stone markers on the far side of the lake in this print, were built by the Inuit to mark the path, a safe area or a good fishing spot, which seems to be the case here. They could be a pile of rocks in no particular shape or many rocks balanced on top of each other to look like a figure.
