content: Source of the information below: Inuvialuit Pitqusiit Inuuniarutait: Inuvialuit Living History, The MacFarlane Collection website, by the Inuvialuit Cultural Resource Centre (ICRC), Inuvik, N.W.T., Canada (website credits here http://www.inuvialuitlivinghistory.ca/posts/12 ), entry on this artifact http://www.inuvialuitlivinghistory.ca/items/110 , retrieved 2-11-2020: This is the side of a wooden box that has been illustrated with drawings made by applying red and black pigments, probably ochre and charcoal. At the far left is an illustration that resembles a person in a kayak with the distinctive 'horns' typical of the Inuvialuit form of that watercraft. To the right of that illustration is a caribou seen in profile, seemingly in the act of being shot by a person in a kneeling position aiming a rifle. The hunter appears to be wearing a hat with a brim, suggesting that he is European. Further to the right are three figures that seem to be holding hands: a woman, a child and a man. The woman's hairstyle and their clothing suggest that Inuvialuit are depicted. At the far right is an illustration of another person, who is holding a pole-like object. This figure has been drawn using black pigment; the other illustrations are all rendered in red.
