BSNC is pleased to share another video in its educational series titled Mazzaq Tigittuaq, Inupiaq for “sunrise.” This series of educational videos celebrates the culture and knowledge of Our People. In this second video, BSNC descendant Marjorie “Kunaq” Tahbone shares about and shows the process of Kakinniit, the art of traditional tattooing. Kunaq is Iñupiaq and Kiowa from Sitnasuak, (Nome) Alaska. She is a traditional tattoo artist and is helping revitalize the tradition by being a mentor and teacher to other Inuit women interested in becoming traditional tattoo artists so that they can pass on the tradition.
In the past decade, Inuit women revitalized the ancient art of traditional tattooing. The practice dates back at least 10,000 years and involves skin stitching or hand-poke/stick-and-poke. Ethnographically, tattooing was practiced by all Inuit but was most common among women and would commemorate an achievement or reaching a certain milestone in life. During the influx of Western civilization in the 19th and 20th centuries, many Inuit were prohibited from practicing the ritual. Today they are reclaiming the practice.
