This reprint of People from Our Side was published 20 years after the death of the artist, after his photographs had been displayed in major exhibitions. The knowledge and understanding of the impact of those photographs had continued to increase, prompting this reprint of the original work. At the time of its publishing in 1993, it was noted that Inuit communities were increasingly recognizing the value of photographs as an heirloom for future generations.
