For a similar piece, see Jean Blodgett, Selections from The John and Mary Robertson Collection of Inuit Sculpture, exh. cat., 1986, p. 49, pl. 28

Note: “The seals we get around Coppermine don’t normally travel in herds. But occasionally I’ve had the experience four times in my twenty-five years - you can find yourself in the middle of three or four hundred of them. It’s so overwhelming you think, ‘I’m hunting them but what if they should suddenly turn around and decide to hunt me? I wouldn’t have a chance.’ Charlie showed me this piece about three months after it had happened to us in the straits off Victoria Island. When he brought it in he said, ‘I was thinking about that time. I don’t know about you but I found it sort of scary. I thought about what it must have been like in the old days, in just a skin kayak.’”

As Pedersen recounts, seals, when wounded or threatened, will attack a kayak under the water. To capture the excitement of this act of vengeance, the artist has produced a deliberately unsteady piece to simulate the harrowing hunting scene.

Note: For the act of dance amongst the Copper Inuit (Kitlinermiut), participants would adorn a separate parka, with wolverine or weasel tassels hung on the back. In addition, the dancers wear loon dance caps, as seen in this lot. The loon’s beak was placed on top of the cap, with a weasel skin suspended from the beak. As the dancer moved, the skin would sway, heightening the performance and the motion of the participant.

Literature: Franz Boas, “Sedna and the Fulmar”, from “The Central Eskimo” from Sixth Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology, Smithsonian Institute, Washington, 1888, p.409-669 (1888), 1964, p. 583ff.

Charles Moore, Keeveeok, Awake! (Ring House Gallery, Edmonton, AB) p. 9-10 Darlene Wight, Manasie: The Art of Manasie Akpaliapik (The Winnipeg Art Gallery, Winnipeg, MB), 1990, unpaginated Note: Accounts of the origins of the sea goddess differentiate throughout the arctic regions.

Franz Boas tells of Senda’s origins as a mortal girl that would not marry and whose “father [cut] off her fingers, which [were] transformed into whales, seals, and ground seals.” Here, Manasie depicts the sea goddess with rounded hands, an important continuity with the myth. The base is in the shape of a seal flipper to further the link to the creation of sea animals.

Charles Moore tells of how the Shaman must transform to swim down and appease the sea goddess. In this version, Moore tells that when Sedna’s head is filled with lice and her hair entangled, the currents of the sea itself are impeded. In angry response, she withholds the release of the sea mammals, the sustenance of life to the humans above. A shaman is sent to placate Sedna by delousing and braiding her hair.

Of works of a similar subject by Manasie, Darlene Coward Wight comments, “Most often he communicates with the sea goddess, Taleelayuk (or Sedna) - part woman, part fish - who is the guardian and controller of animals.” Wight continues, “Manasie’s works interact and, at times, explode into their environment.” In this work, the composite figure seems to interact with the tangible environment.

Sedna’s wild hair flows back as she plunges into watery isolation.

Here, she learned the craft under Walter Dexter, one of Canada’s outstanding potters.

In 1967, three works by Makituk were entered in the International Exhibition of Ceramics in Florence, Italy. The provincial Department of Education notes, “The Kootenay School of Art gained further recognition and awards by having all its ceramics entries accepted for exhibition at the International Exhibition in Faenza, Italy, with Lydia Makituk Pingwartuk being awarded third prize and the school receiving a silver medal for its entry.”

In 1967, one of Makituk’s enthusiastic instructors commented, “Meesa and Makituk, the young Eskimo artists attending the Kootenay School of Art, have just completed their three months course in Ceramics. During this time, they have displayed tremendous facility in handling most of the ceramic processes taught at our School, including kiln loading and maintenance. Together, they have produced over 100 pieces including a number of large ones — these being Eskimo figurines of people and animals, utilitarian and hand built pots. ... Meesa and Makituk will be returning to Nelson next year to complete a full year’s study in Ceramics.” $700—1,000

In 1906, Capilano, Cowichan Chief Charley Isipaymilt, and Secwepemc Chief Basil David led a delegation to voice their concerns for native land claims. The men travelled to Ottawa, where they met Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and then on to London, England to meet King Edward VII. “The petition expressing their grievances was not presented directly to the monarch but had to be sent through diplomatic channels. It asserted that aboriginal title to the land had never been extinguished, that settlers had moved onto the land without its owners’ approval, that appeals to the Canadian government had been fruitless, and that native people, who lacked the vote, were not even consulted by Indian agents on matters affecting their lives.

On his return home Su-á-pu-luck was received with great enthusiasm by his people but he had to admit that, apart from generating some much-needed publicity for his cause, the trip had achieved nothing concrete. While the meeting with the king was a pleasant occasion, the real problems of native people in British Columbia would have to be dealt with by Canadian governments. The trip to Britain was, however, an important step for native people in the process of taking political protest into their own hands.” $400—600

331 MARTHA ITTULUKA'NAAQ, BAKER LAKE/QAMANI’TUAQ THE OLD WAYS stonecut, 1971, 30/41, framed 24" x 19.25" — 61 x 48.9 cm.

Literature: Jules Heller, Nancy G. Heller, North American Women Artists of the Twentieth Century: A Biographical Dictionary, p. 275 Note: Ittuluka’naaq had little contact with the European and Canadian traders and missionaries until her move to Baker Lake in 1961. Ittuluka’naaq’s works are simple and linear and are “stylistically similar to those of ... Anguhadluq and Parr.” Like her male contemporaries, Ittuluka’naaq’s life experiences were largely within the traditions of Inuit culture. $300—500

Descriptions or photographs of lots are not warranties and each lot is sold “as is” in accordance with the Conditions of Sale.

Condition of Lots All of the items are to be considered, unless otherwise noted in the description, in good condition. The definition of “good” when used in reference to condition, describes an object as having had no major damage or repair but as with the nature of the material, may show minor surface wear, discolouration etc., which indicates the acceptable wear that the piece may acquire with age.

If you are particular about minor flaws, you should examine the pieces in person or have our staff answer any questions before bidding.

Sizes are approximate. It is the sole responsibility of the bidder to inquire as to the

A charge of 13% HST (Harmonized Sales Tax) is applicable on the hammer price and buyer's premium, except for purchases exported from Canada. In the case where purchases are shipped out of the province of Ontario, the HST or GST is charged based on the tax status of that province.
