Masks of the Inuit, native North Americans who believe that spirits and human characteristics exist in all aspects of nature, especially in the animals that supply them with food, clothing and shelter. Many of their ceremonial masks represent animal spirits (inuas). These masks were worn while singing and dancing in both religious and secular rituals and were carved from wood and adorned with other decorative materials such as deerskin. Book contains 6 full-color punch-out masks adapted from authentic Inuit designs: Bird Mask (Bird-Man spirit); Bird Mask (Sea Parrot); Hair Seal Mask; Walrus Mask; Tunghak Mask; Human Mask.
