		This work by Pitseolak Ashoona is an illustration of the camp as the nucleus of family life in the traditional, nomadic lifestyle of the Inuit.
		Since both her father and husband were remarkable hunters, Pitseolak spent most of her life moving from camp to camp, as they followed the migratory patterns of animals.
		Because the art of Pitseolak is in many ways autobiographical, one can approach this work as a reflection of a happy memory from the time she was a young bride and mother.

		As she spent most of her life travelling from one camp to another, migration scenes are one of Pitseolak's favourite topics.
		This is common in Pitseolak's work as she frequently incorporates two different points of view, simultaneously, in order to convey more information.
		Perhaps this compositional strategy refers to Pitseolak's use of landscape not as the subject matter, but as a framing devise that allows her to set her figures in a three-dimensional space.
