Note:

“Old Man and Sedna, is an intensely poetic and immensely moving physical embodiment of Inuit founding legend, the unmistakable lithe, animal fishiness of the Sedna figure and the tender depiction of age and infirmity of the old man, as fine an embodiment of the Inuit term sulijuk – truth and reality – as you could wish to find…” (200)
