EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Poyettak, Kakikagiu, Aknalua, early 19th century" transports us back in time to the Arctic Circle during the 19th century. The artist behind this remarkable piece is none other than John Brandard, who skillfully captures the essence of these indigenous people. The subjects of this photograph are Poyettak, Kakikagiu, and Aknalua - three individuals whose origins can be traced to either North America or Siberia. Dressed in their traditional costumes made from fur, they stand proudly against a wintry backdrop that perfectly complements their surroundings. As we observe this image closely, we are reminded of the resilience and strength embodied by these Inuit people. Their stoic expressions reflect a deep connection with their land and culture. It is evident that they have adapted to survive in such harsh conditions. Sir John Ross, an explorer renowned for his expeditions to the Arctic region during this era, collaborated with Brandard on this project. Together, they aimed to document not only the physical appearance but also the unique traditions and customs of these local communities. This print serves as a valuable ethnographic record that allows us to appreciate and understand the rich heritage of these indigenous peoples. Through Brandard's artistry and Sir John Ross's expertise as an explorer, we gain insight into a world far removed from our own - one where survival depends on embracing nature's challenges rather than conquering them.
