Here's the inuit story...
….........…. throught the art
It is the artic land that inspires the art. A piece of art, whether it be a carving, doll, drawing, wall hanging, or jewelry holds an essence of the land and all things connected to it. The land has demanded its inhabitants to be unique and strong to endure its harsh nature. A rich culture and spirituality have emerged strongly interconnected with all resources the land has to offer. The art reveals the strong connection the Inuit have with the land and animals.
Humbleness and respect for the lands is inevitable. It is not the land that belongs to the people, but the people belonging to the land. At first glance, the land seems to be deserted. Look closer, and you will find life. Lots of life! Just as the tundra seems to be filled with nothing but silence, listen closely, and a roar fills the senses.

inuit story
