This exceptional drawing exhibits the naturalistic detail and joyful expression for which Pitseolak became celebrated. In it, she successfully communicates the layered and hilly terrain around Cape Dorset—Kinngait, the Inuktitut name for Cape Dorset, means “big hills.”

Pitseolak was concerned not only with depicting the practical knowledge of the “old ways” but also with recording the less physically tangible values that accompanied them. Many of her drawings communicate the essence of camp life, embodying the Inuit sensibility of community and cooperation.
