The carving "Blanket Toss" has been one of Jonas' signature carvings for many years. Before the "Blanket Toss" game became a traditional fun and game for Inuit for many generations, it played a very important function for Inuit in their quest for good hunting. In the flat Artic tundra, sighting a hunting game from a distance was very difficult. The Inuit would blanket toss a person to air, so he could spot animals in far distance. |
