The Inuit Masks and Dancing Ceremonies

The Inuit people have maintained for many years a yearly cycle of ceremonies and festival celebrations which included Arctic nights in storytelling, singing, and dramatically spectacular masked feats and performances. The reason for these events is to solicit spiritual assistance for survival in the callous climate. The Intuit peoples dancing ceremonies also build a sense of unity within their community and a sense of cooperation. Many songs and dances are about success in hunting which is an important concern. There was no reason too unimportant for the Inuit custom dancer to perform.

I can’t wait to wear this mask to the next community dance.
