"The illustrated artifacts contained within this catalogue are original reproductions from the material culture of the Canadian Inuit. Though the source of the material is predominantly that of Pelly Bay, the Eastern, Central and Western Arctic regions are also represented. The unique qualities that permitted the Inuit people to develop a material culture from nothing other than stone and the bones of animals, and the awareness that these inherent skills are disappearing, prompted Father Van de Velde to record for posterity such detailed information as is still available on the tools and weapons once used in their daily lives. A project involving the reproduction of historical artifacts from living memory, is by its nature an ephemeral one.

Paperback. Condición: Fair. Revised Edition. "The Eskimo creates a thousand and one things of his daily life. All with the alive quality and exact precision which stems from his living character and intellect. I believe this to be the only secret of a true artist. He has but to remove the excess parts of his model such as stone, bone, antler or ivory to show us what he has already seen in the abstract. This explains the perfection with which he fashions his working tools and hunting implements. But read through the following pages of this catalogue, read the descriptions, they are convincing by themsleves." - Introduction.
