EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a moment of Netsilik Inuit entertainment in the late 19th century. Inside the cozy confines of an igloo, Netsilik Eskimo men are engrossed in a traditional game, their faces illuminated by the warm glow of an oil lamp. The hand-colored woodcut, based on a sketch from Schwatka's Arctic expedition, beautifully depicts this scene of cultural heritage and recreation. The image transports us to a time when storytelling and games were essential components of Inuit life during long winter nights. As these men engage in friendly competition, their parkas made from fur provide insulation against the harsh Arctic cold outside. Their surroundings reflect the simplicity and resourcefulness inherent in their way of life – an igloo serving as both shelter and home. This illustration offers us a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of Canada's indigenous people. It reminds us that long before modern technology dominated our lives, communities found joy and connection through communal activities like storytelling and gaming. Preserved for over a century, this photograph serves as a testament to Frederick Schwatka's documentation efforts during his Arctic expedition. Its presence allows us to appreciate not only the artistic value but also its historical significance within North America's native cultures.
