Many migratory birds visit the Arctic but a few like the raven and ptarmigan are year round residents. The snowy owl migrates as necessary when food is scarce. Birds, especially owls and ravens, are very popular in Inuit mythology and for shamans on their journeys to the spirit world.

Along with stonecut prints, James Houston also recognized the possibilities for stencil prints. While visiting a snow house at a far camp Houston admired the wife’s work of skin appliqué, a process where silhouette forms were cut out of a contrasting hide and sewn onto clothing for decoration. This particular woman had also cut out figures from hide scraps to illustrate a story for her children. Houston noticed that the remnants left after cutting were very stiff and would be good for stenciling. So in this way the art form grew out of a practice already very familiar to the Inuit – they just took it a step further. Stenciling also allowed for color gradations not possible in the stonecut printing process. In order to save precious seal skins for other uses, they developed a wax-impregnated paper for stencil cutting.

Kananginak is known as “the Audubon of the North” for his precisely rendered images of birds. One of the first Inuit trained as a printmaker (he settled in Cape Dorset in the 1950s for health reasons), Kananginak had studied and hunted birds since he was a boy. He knows birds so well that he does not need photography or even an actual model to draw from, just his imagination. His work differs greatly from most of his contemporaries in its realism.
The Common Eider, a sea-duck that breeds in the Arctic, is the largest duck in the Northern Hemisphere. Its arrival announces the coming of summer.
Along with Iyola Kingwatsiak, whose work is also in the MAG collection, Kananginak was one of the founding members of the West Baffin Eskimo Cooperative. Kananginak became the Cooperative’s first elected president.

This print appears to refer to the Sedna myth, which was very important to the Inuit people. Honoring Sedna was critical to the success of the hunt. The figure at the bottom of this print with the human face, arms and legs with the bird next to it is likely to be Sedna.
There are many versions of the Sedna myth. In one tale, she married a man who is a bird in disguise and was very unhappy when he revealed himself. Her father came to save her and they tried to escape in a boat. A terrible storm came up and Sedna was cast overboard. From her accident all sea mammals and the polar bear were born. She also partially transformed into a sea mammal herself and lived at the bottom of the ocean. When great storms came up or animals were scarce, the Inuit believed that Sedna was upset. A shaman would go to her through a trance and calm her by brushing her hair.

Parr’s style is one of the most instantly recognizable of all the Cape Dorset artists. He spent his life living on the land as a hunter and came to Cape Dorset in his late sixties when his health no longer allowed him to live the nomadic life. He was encouraged to draw at age sixty-eight and though his style was considered very primitive and child-like, his images tell the story of the traditional Inuit ways through the eyes of one who had lived them for most of his life.

Kenojuak, one of Canada’s most famous artists, claims to create images that please her and that she does not imbue them with special meaning or stories. As with most Inuit artists, her subject matter tends towards that which is most familiar – animals. The owl and the raven have played important roles in the legends and stories of the Inuit. Dogs performed a critical task for Inuit survival at one time as they pulled the hunter’s sled across the ice.

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.

Traditionally, Inuit men and women had very defined roles. Men hunted and fished, fashioned tools, shelter and transportation while women took care of the children, prepared food and made clothing. These roles sometimes crossed as they worked together as a unit according to their strengths and to ensure survival. Resettlement of Inuit to permanent communities has disrupted the balance of these traditional roles. The male role of hunter has greatly decreased while female roles have transferred easily to the new living situation in the Arctic.
