About This Item
"This book is the synthesis of several trips to NUNAVIK, the land of the Inuit. Its literary form is original for it combines the astute observations of an ethnologist with the supple language of a poet-novelist. Michel Noel happens to be both. Obviously his writing suffers from none of the obscurantism of scientific writing; on the contrary, he writes in a simple and precise language, frankly addressing those readers who love a good novel, perhaps too, those who have a taste for good travel writing and, especially, those who love art and poetry." "The works shown in this book reflect the importance of the relationship between the materials used--often drawn from local resources such as steatite, caribou antler, ivory, whalebone, animal skins--and the collective memory upon which the creations are based." Several dozen items are pictured, both in colour and b/w.
