Running along the shores of Hudson Bay, Inukjuak has access to the bounties of both the water and the treeline. Unsurprisingly, creatures from both the bay and the land feature frequently in art from the region, and these charming, miniature tiles are no exception. Lightly incised and carefully filled with ink, these portraits could easily take pride and place on a mantle, or double as a board game token as needed!
