Although Houston was not Indigenous and falls outside our usual scope, his role as a cultural catalyst across the Arctic, particularly in Cape Dorset, merits special recognition. He was pivotal in introducing Southern Canada to the beauty of Inuit art, instrumental in bringing printmaking to Cape Dorset, and central to the establishment of the West Baffin Eskimo Co-operative in 1959. This powerful drawing of a brawny drummer demonstrates Houston’s skill as a draftsman and carries added poignancy, having been created in 1955, just two years before starvation forced the relocation of the Aharmiut (Caribou Inuit).
