Within the exciting cultural and political context of the
new Inuit territory of Nunavut, the drawings of three generations
of Inuit women artists are chronicled. The art of Shuvinai
Ashoona, her aunt Napatchie Pootoogook and her grandmother
Pitseolak Ashoona is featured and contrasted. Interviews with
the artists combine with Blodgett's perceptive text to illuminate
with depth and sensitivity the lives and artistic vision of
these artists.
