In Power of Thought, Bouchard writes of this print, "In this image of an angutkoq (a shaman), a highly stylized chevron pattern on the figure's chest mimics the human skeleton and the shaman's capacity to see himself in human form.  The parka trim and fringe reconfigured as an ornamental belt. Repeated, modified "V" shapes extending from the his [sic] knees, shoulder joints, and head manifest the mental and physical energy required to perform shamanic feats.  The figure, crowned with the shaman's indispensable helping spirit, can be read as in flight. The shaman's ability to fly was regarded as the most remarkable feat of all."
