Inuit Carving
|
|
 They have charmed visitors to the Arctic for centuries, and today stone carvings by the Inuit people of Canada are treasured by collectors worldwide. They come in a rich array of sizes and materials, and today in themes as well. While rooted in the ancient past of the Inuit, these modern works can stand beside any of the world’s finest contemporary art.

A Tribute to Fritz Scholder
|
|
 He was private, brilliant, dark and mercurial. There are men who come among us, change our perception of the world, and depart too soon—before we can take possession of them.

|
|
 Some of the earliest Native expressions of prayer, self-identity, adornment and beauty were created in three-dimensional form from materials freely provided by the earth. Walrus ivory figures carried by hunters in the Arctic north, amulets carved in bone or wood or shaped from clay, totems reaching skyward-over the centuries, experienced hands have passed on their understanding and tools to younger hands.
