In this illustration for the month of January, Tshakapesh crushes caribou bones to extract the marrow, ensuring no part of the animal is wasted. January is the Great Month, the month of very cold temperatures.
I’ll be sharing each month’s illustrations as we get to them throughout the year.

It was enriching to pore over and study this book so that my own illustrations would be culturally accurate.
In addition to the cultural details, each scene within the calendar depicts the character of Tshakapesh, a legendary Innu folk hero.

Therefore it was very important that I didn’t accidentally mix up the two cultures within my illustrations.
To help, Intitut Tshakapesh gave me Akua-Nutin, a book filled with detailed illustrations of traditional Innu cultural activities, clothing, types of lodging, language, and so much more.
