How do you portray COURAGE, BRAVERY, or PERSEVERANCE?
Pits Qimirpik has found a way.
Hunting an animal is a daunting task.
Now take a hunter, give him a rudimentary weapon like a bow and arrow, make him solitary (with no back up) and then place him in one of the harshest environments in the world, the Canadian Arctic.
STEALTH FIGHTER is facing all these conditions as he hunts for just one animal that he can take home to feed and clothe his family.
He is cold.
His shoulders are burning from holding his bow and arrow still for what seems like eternity but. . .
He will NOT be defeated!
He is a proud Inuk.
They have hunted to live for centuries.
Stealth Fighter is a magnificent piece that honours the Inuit culture.
