Kenojuak Ashevak was #bornonthisday in what is now #Nunavut
"There is no word for #art [in Inuktitut]. We say it is to transfer something from the real to the unreal."

What do a kayak and igloo have in common? Both words are derived from #Inuit languages (ᖃᔭᖅ and ᐃᒡᓗ in #Inuktitut syllabics).
Can you think of more examples? Bonus points for illustrating with digitised @britishlibrary items!
