"Eskimo art is looked at as a native art in the process of degradation by the influence of Western culture. We see the work of Kalvak which bridges the gap between her native traditions and Western Culture. Also shows current methods of printmaking by native artists of Holman Island, and discusses the effects of Western education on Eskimo children in terms of loss of ethnic identity and disruption of family life."
