INUIT

Some of my favorite Inuit art by Kenojuak Ashevak from Cape Dorset.
Some of these prints are made using seal skin as a stencil... others are stone cut.
I am particularly fond of her early works and was lucky enough to see some of her large prints in person last weekend in Port Townsend. beautiful.

Katatjaq is an Inuit throat singing game that women used to do when the men were away hunting: "A unique and enchanting form of musical expression. A mixture of husky chanting and low growling, throat singing is actually a competition where the first person to laugh, stop, or run out of breath loses." It was nearly a lost art, but is becoming more popular among Inuit youth.

Usually performed by 2 women. They typically stand very close and hold each others arms while moving or swaying in rhythm.
