Description

Drawing on horizontal rectangular sheet of paper of a summer scene with three rows of action. In the upper row at the far left is a human face. To the right a man is kneeling with his arms raised. He is wearing a green parka and is in front of what might be a burial or an inuksuk. To the right a woman and a child in a one piece suit appear to be playing. To their right two women in green parkas peep out from behind a rock outcrop. At the far left of the next row a man appears to be drowning. Above him is a long kayak on which numerous things are happening. A man stands on the prow of the kayak with a kakivak in his hand. To the right a person is standing on the kayak holding something in his right hand. To the right the kayaker sits with his paddle in his hands. Behind him is a man standing on the kayak holding a kakivak with a fish caught in it. Beside him is a woman in a green amautiq who is keeling on the kayak and jigging. She has a fish on her line. Beside her is a man sitting on the kayak. At the stern of the kayak another man stands - he is holding a lure in his left hand and using the kakivak with his right hand - a fish seems to be interested in the lure. To their right a bird stands on a rock in the water and immediately below is a bird head in the water. On the bottom row to the far left is a man perched on a rock in the water, he is reaching towards a man on shore who is holding an arrow in his left hand and a bow in his right. To the right is a caribou that has just been shot with an arrow from a hunter to the far right.
