Masks are an ancient tradition of the Alutiiq people on the southern coast of Alaska. Alutiiq artists carved the masks from wood or bark into images of ancestors, animal spirits, and other mythological forces; these extraordinary creations have been an essential tool for communicating with the spirit world and have played an important role in dances and hunting festivities for centuries. Giinaquq-Like a Face presents thirty-three fullcolor images of these fantastic and eye-catching masks, which have been preserved for more than a century as part of the Pinart Collection at the Chateau-Musee de Boulogne-sur-Mer in France.
