Description

In Eye of the Shaman, author David Turner introduces readers to Inuit artist and visionary Piona Keyuakjuk. During a series of visits to Pangnirtung, a small town located on Baffin Island in the territory of Nunavut, Turner came to know this remarkable individual, gaining deep insight into his life and art. The book includes nearly 150 colour illustrations, including numerous photographs of Piona's sculptures as well as the complete contents of Piona's 104-page Sketchbook. The result is a book sure to fascinate and enlighten.

Author Biography:

David Turner is Professor Emeritus at the University of Toronto, having taught and conducted research in the Department of Anthropology and Centre for Religious Studies since 1975. His early interest in the Australian Aborigines took him to the University of Western Australia in Perth, where he completed his Ph.D. in Anthropology (with special commendation) in 1971. Following this he established the Aboriginal Studies program at the Australian National University. In 1973 he returned to Canada to teach, first at the University of Manitoba and then at the University of Toronto. His other books include Tradition and Transformation: A Study of Aborigines in the Groote Eylandt Area, Northern Australia and Return to Eden: A Journey through the Promised Landscape of Amagalyuagba. He currently resides in his home town of Perth, Ontario.
