The first comparative analysis of contemporary artforms of two the Inuit people of the Canadian North and the Sami people of northern Scandinavia. Both function as single cultures across national boundaries, yet the Sami have long had regular contact with European civilization. In their contemporary artistic manifestations, both show connections with earlier times as well as clear indications of change.
