Well I think the recognition that Kenojuak has received has helped everybody in Cape Dorset. But what's interesting, and I've observed this in Cape Dorset and Baker Lake, these world famous artists are supporting their families, their youth. I mean, she comes in, her granddaughter brings a drawing and the money is shared with everybody in the family. And what I love about her is the fact that she's such a wonderful person, you know, she's got a sunny disposition and she's just marvelous. You know, her works too, now, is being translated into stained glass windows and, you know, more people can enjoy her work down south and elsewhere as well.
