Inuit Sculpture
In the 1940s, Canadian government efforts settled Inuit people in towns. With a decline in hunting and other subsistence activities, many occupied themselves with carving, resulting in an increase in stone sculpture and sales to collectors. Today, sculpture is recognized as a significant contemporary art form whereby Inuit artists portray oral traditions, supernatural forces, and traditional values.
AMINT_220206_30.JPG: The National Museum of the American Indian has its roots in the historic collection of George Gustav Heye (1874-1957) and his Museum of the American Indian. As a living museum, the NMAI continues to build the collections by acquiring modern and contemporary Native arts.
The works shown here illustrate the vitality and persistence of Native lives and arts in North America, especially over the last fifty years. Each piece speaks to the dynamism of Native people and their arts, as individual artists and communities continue to develop new ways of expressing traditional and contemporary identities.

2022 photos: This year included major setbacks -- including Putin's invasion of Ukraine and the Supreme Court imposing the evangelical version of sharia law -- but also some steps forward like the results of the midterms.
This website had its 20th anniversary in August, 2022.
Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000.
Trips this year:
(February) a visit to see Dad and Dixie in Asheville, NC with some other members of my family,
(July) a trip out west for the return of San Diego Comic-Con, and
(October) a long weekend in New York to cover New York Comic-Con.
Number of photos taken this year: about 386,000, up 2020 and 2021 levels but still way below pre-pandemic levels.
