Summary:

Janet Kigusuik and Victoria Mamgosulakuk are two sisters who grew up on the Back River. They moved to Baker Lake in the early part of the 1940s and they've lived there ever since. But their art is still inspired by the land where they were born and where they grew up together. In those days Inuit went through a lot of hardships, enduring cold and sometimes hunger. But they also had happy times and warm feelings. Inuit expressed their feelings through their songs. Today these two sisters express their feelings through their drawings. To collectors their work is unique Inuit Art. But to the sisters it is the perspective of their life experiences and dramas from their childhood.
