Mora Dianne O'Neill, et.al., Art Gallery of Nova Scotia Permanent Collection: Selected Works, (Halifax: Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, 2002), p. 92, which described the print, "...Lumiuk and the Whales is typical of the work purchased by the southern-run co-ops of the 1960s. It is a strong graphic image depicting a pod of stylized whales passing two equally stylized hunters on the shoreline. It is [...] powerfully rendered".
