Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Jonasie Faber Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Notes: Jonas (Jonasie) Faber (b. 1944), a Greenlandic Inuit who has lived and worked in Canada for many decades. Most of his pieces are of Arctic wildlife, village life, and Inuit and Nordic mythology (Sedna, Norse Gods, and migration boats). Jonasie is very interested in the ancient ties between the Greenlandic Inuit and the Canadian Inuit, as well as the advent of Christianity in the north. (He's one of several Inuit carvers obsessed with how contact between North American and Greenlandic Inuit played out, as there's little scholarly work or hard evidence of contact between ancient North American and Greenlandic Inuit, but the settlements were separated by so short a distance and the cultures share some interesting characteristics that there must have been interaction between them.) Jonasie also worked on the restoration of the first Christian church in Greenland. Jonasie is still doing some carving along with all of his other activities. He's well-regarded as an artist and his pieces are popular with collectors. His work is in museums in the USA, Canada, and Denmark -- and he has a piece in the Danish royal family's collection.
