Picture Maker by Penina Keen Spinka is a richly imagined historical novel following a 14th-century Indigenous woman across the landscapes and cultures of North America and Greenland. The story incorporates Indigenous traditions, spirituality, prophecy, survival, cultural encounters, and the world of Norse Greenlanders.
Originally published by Dutton in 2002, this hardcover edition features a particularly striking illustrated dust jacket with woodcut-style animal imagery. For Anthrofolklorist, the book is especially interesting as a literary interpretation of Indigenous and Norse cultural worlds, complementing the Museum's nonfiction works on anthropology, folklore, exploration, and cultural history.
