Kenojuak was born in 1927 in the camp Ikirisaq, in south Baffin Island, and grew up travelling between camps on Baffin Island and Arctic Quebec (Nunavik). As a young woman, she married Jonniebo and eventually settled with him at Keakto, near Cape Dorset, where she raised eight of her own children, before adopting and raising eight more. Alongside her husband, Kenojuak began experimenting with carving and drawing, and the couple continued to work closely together until Jonniebo’s death. Kenojuak was among the first women to participate in the arts in Cape Dorset and contributed significantly to the first release of Inuit prints in 1959. Her work was so appreciated that she was featured in nearly every annual print collection thereafter. Kenojuak was also the subject of a 1961 film documentary about her traditional life and art, and travelled the world as an ambassador for Inuit art. Kenojuak has featured prominently throughout the evolution of the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement, beginning with the commissioning of her artwork “Nunavut Qajanatuk” (Our Beautiful Land) to commemorate the signing of the Agreement in Principle in 1990. Three years later, for the signing of the final agreement, Kenojuak made an exclusive lithograph called “Nunavut.” To commemorate Kenojuak’s passing in 2013, her piece “Decorative Char” appears on the cover of this Nunavut Implementation Panel Annual Report 2012–2013.
