The Cannibal, Qitsuajuk
Mitiarjuk Nappaaluk was widely respected for her extensive knowledge of oral culture and traditional stories. A short Inuktitut inscription on the bottom of this sculpture translates as: ‘The cannibal, Qitsuajuk.’ Inuit legends are rife with mention of semi-human cannibal monsters, betraying their age old fear of the phenomenon.
