Postcard-Inuit Modern Art
by Craig Zabransky on January 22, 2014 in Photo
Sculptures made from whale bones may seem like an ancient practice, but in northern Canada, not until the “western way” transformed the original native (or aboriginal as labeled in Canada) culture and way of life have locals carved such massive pieces of art.
