RSJ $35 5x7 Quiet Night

This painting depicts the Northern Lights dancing above the mountains while kayakers in traditional skin kayaks/baidarkas, traditional hats and visors, and gut skin parkas paddle home. Both Aleut/Unangan and Alutiiq/Sugpiaq men used kayaks to hunt. They had a driftwood or wood frame and were stretched with sea mammal skin. They used patch kits on-board to stop leaks and it was written that the Aleuts reached speeds of 7 knots and braved storms and waves.
