A female figure is depicted at the center of the piece while two ravens protectively sit on her shoulders. The raven is a creation figure in Inuit mythology, a trickster whose form goes back and forth between human and animal. Ashoona\u2019s piece highlights the importance of such stories and myths in Inuit culture through her representation of ravens upon a woman\u2019s shoulders. Animals play a critical role to Inuit culture living within the Canadian arctic tundra which is reflected by their appearance in such myths and stories. While these stories are told within an oral tradition, the traditional practice of lithography combined with Western artistic methods allowed for the longstanding graphic tradition of Inuit storytelling to be represented visually and distributed widely. In the 1970s there was a rise in interest to preserve Inuktitut, a principal Inuit language, which resulted in a migration of Inuit peoples to Cape Dorset. Kinngait, or Cape Dorset, quickly became the capital of Inuit art for drawing, printmaking, and carving. Mayoreak Ashoona is one of the original artists that migrated to Kinngait and has maintained the rich cultural tradition of Inuit graphic arts.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah Swan-Kloos \u201821<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_with_border et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_divider et_pb_divider_0 et_pb_space\"><div class=\"et_pb_divider_internal\"><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1531,"featured_media":151,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"project_category":[6],"project_tag":[],"class_list":["post-419","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project_category-printmaking"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/lastinglegacy2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/419","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/lastinglegacy2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/lastinglegacy2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/lastinglegacy2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1531"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/lastinglegacy2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=419"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/lastinglegacy2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/419\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":942,"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/lastinglegacy2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/419\/revisions\/942"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/lastinglegacy2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/151"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/lastinglegacy2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=419"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/lastinglegacy2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_category?post=419"},{"taxonomy":"project_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/lastinglegacy2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_tag?post=419"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
