Below is an Inuit drawing called 'Joyfully I See 10 Caribou' by Pootoogook in 1959 which is obviously the expression of an Inuit hunter upon sighting game.

Finally, another Inuit drawing depicting a scene from another Inuit legend. This one is called 'Legend of the Blind Man and the Bear' by Kananginak Pootoogook and Pootoogook in 1959 (probably a joint project by two relatives).
