“Adapting a way of life to the environment has always fascinated me.  Especially so with the Eskimos who have long used dog sleds for traveling, transporting freight as well as moving entire villages when hunting near home becomes scarce.  The fan-hitch type of harness depicted in this sculpture is constructed of seal skin rope referred to as Atsuna.  These ropes of varying lengths, or traces as they are commonly called, easily become crossed and tangled causing frequent stops along the way to straighten them out.  As troublesome as this may be at times, it is still a very reliable and efficient method of travel.”
