		Hanson, a long-time Apex resident, is probably best known for her lead role in White Dawn, a 1973 James Houston film that was shot in and around Iqaluit.

	Nunavut 99 - What's In A Name?
		And when I came back home, I certainly did not want to be Miss E7-121 as a secretary in a government office, so I took my father's first name, Meekitjuk, as a surname.
		Now the same word, meaning our homeland, is being capitalized as Nunavut, to become a place name, a new inuksuk (directional beacon) for the world to see, and for us to share and to pass on to our children.

		Many captions have little to do with the art; but the emotion, abstract forms, joy, and animism of these works glow from the pages.
		The text comprises CMC curator von Finckenstein's succinct, lucid introduction to the economic and social context; journalist Ann Meekitjuk Hanson's account of one artist's transition; and Houston's recollections of discovering the native talent and developing it in the 1940s and 1950s (though, strangely, he focuses on printmaking).
		For broader coverage of prints, tapestries, and other and more recent art forms, see Ingo Hessel's Inuit Art (LJ 11/1/98); for a detailed history and development, see Richard C. Crandall's Inuit Art: A History (LJ 2/1/00).
