Remembering Three Fabulous Female Inuit Artists We Recently Lost

In the past 18 months, while the world has been preoccupied with Covid and other traumas, the Inuit Art World lost three wonderful female artists. Kakulu Saggiaktok left us in 2020, and this year we lost Pitaloosie Saila and Malaija Pootoogook. All these amazing Inuit women left behind an outstanding legacy of art for us to remember them by forever. But they will be sorely missed by their family and friends, and those of us who loved their beautiful art and wished to see much more of it created by them in the future.
