Several years after Pitseolak created this image of three men building an inukshuk (a stone marker), she identified the man placing the top stone as her father, Ottochie, linking her work to the actual building of an inukshuk near Cape Dorset.

Pitseolak was aware that her drawings introduced an outside audience to the Inuit way of life, and equally conscious that she was recording knowledge for future generations of Inuit. Personal and historical knowledge are contained within images that often appear to be generic scenes of Inuit culture.
