In the October edition of @tribal_art_society, we featured an Eskimo float element!

Throughout history, Eskimo cultures have shared the belief that all things in the physical world are imbued with a living spirit, “yua” or “inua”. In order to gain favor with the spirits controlling the animals, a hunter had to approach his prey in a respectful manner. It was believed that decorated objects, through their beauty, attracted the prey and at the same time honored its spirit.
