About This Item

Yellow boards, gilt spine titles. Introduction in English and Inuktitut syllabics with glossary of Inuktitut words and their English definition. Colour portrait and 45 colour plates. Contents in pristine condition. Boards have edge sunning otherwise fine. Unclipped jacket has closed tear taped from inside and small chips to spine head and right top edge. 'Qikaaluktut' refers to 'the sounds of people passing by, perhaps outside your iglu, heard but not seen'.
"Ruth Annaqtuusi Tulurialik lives in Baker Lake, NWT. Tulurialik draws inspiration for her art from the traditional ways of her Inuit culture, filling her compositions with extremely imaginative depictions of Arctic animals, Inuit in traditional dress, women with facial tatoos, shamans and spirits, fantastic birds and fish, and transformational images. Her drawings—usually in colored pencil—are highly-complex in organization and frequently fill the entire page with color".
