This vibrant wall hanging is by the distinguished Inuit artist Jessie Oonark. She has used traditional stitch work techniques on wool and felt to represent Inuit women and the crescent-shaped knives, called ulus, which they use for preparing game. The central figure wears the kind of long hood used by mothers to carry their babies. The piece is typical of Jessie Oonark's style with the use of bold, flat areas of colour grounded in traditional Inuit sewing techniques. 

The hanging was presented to Queen Elizabeth II by Inuit of the Northwest Territories (now Nunavut) in Canada in 1973.
