Abstract:
"Igaruacirpet explores the Alutiiq arts, focusing on the ways graphic designs carry cultural information. Chapters on petroglyph, incised drawings, painting, and body art share hundreds of traditional images, investigate their history and meaning, and reveal conventions in Alutiiq art. Alutiiq designs express an Alutiiq worldview that appears in everything from paintings to parkas."--Page 4 of cover
