This large and striking diptych print by Kenojuak was commissioned by Dorset Fine Arts and released to commemorate the birth of the new Territory of Nunavut on April 1, 1999. Nunavut (which means “Our Land” in Inuktitut) is Canada’s largest province or territory, and by virtue of its demography is the only one controlled by one of Canada’s First Peoples.
