AKPALIAPIK KAMIIK SCARF (WHITE)

For this design, Nooks drew inspiration from the prolific life and work of his Anaanatchiaq, the late Akpaliapik Rhoda Karetak. A renowned Elder and artist, she dedicated her life to sharing her extensive knowledge with many. She provided Nooks with invaluable guidance, offering insights into art, Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit & family history, always infused with her sharp sense of humour. Her influence is woven deeply into all of Nooks' work, reflecting her vibrant and welcoming spirit and the wisdom she imparted.
