Description
The words and their definitions give a sense of the traditions and customs of Inuit life within the Arctic: nanuq is the powerful polar bear of the north; kamik is a warm seal- and caribou-skin boot; and siku is sea ice. Stunning paintings with deep color and wealthy texture evoke a powerful sense of place and show great respect for the Acrtic’s indigenous other people.
Extra informational text features include an introductory note in regards to the significance of inuksuit in Inuit culture and a nonfiction page that profiles seven several types of inuksuit.
