Description
The women of the Nunavut, Canada's new northern territory, have created dolls for centuries - each with their own technique and purpose. Since the creation of the autonomous territory, a resurgence in traditional arts and crafts has emerged. Dolls are no exception. They are utilized to relate oral stories and legends and to provide opportunities for intergenerational teaching of traditional sewing and beading. Illustrated with numerous full page plates, this publication provides a rare look at an important element of traditional Inuit culture.
