Description
This chapter provides you with a description of the wayfinding tools that are part of the audio description tour. It is a minute long.
There will be audio cues within the audio description tour that will direct you through the gallery and to the various stops on the tour.
Once you go down the stairs, there are also tactile floor markings that will help lead you on a one-way path clockwise around the gallery to the stops in front of the artworks. There are twelve stops on the tour. Stops will be marked with a circle composed of smaller felt circles. There are also tactile representations of several artworks, held in a tote bag provided at the front desk, that you can take with you on the tour. They are numbered and the audio description tour will notify you when there is one available at that stop.
Please go down the stairs to the main floor. The stairs have railings and turn twice to the right. You will find the tactile path at the bottom. Turn left to go to the first artwork, in six metres. Stop at the felt circle and turn left.

Chapter 18: "Man with Snowmobile": This chapter describes Man with Snowmobile by Kananginak Pootoogook, created in 2006, and measuring 51 by 67 cm. There is a tactile version of this drawing. It is labeled “2.” This chapter is one and a half minutes long. This work depicts an Inuk man standing just behind his bright red snowmobile. The fur-lined hood of his white atigi, or parka, is pulled up around his face. There are bands of orange, blue and dark green trim on the bottom of his sleeves and hem. His matching pants and blue tinted sunglasses complete the outfit. Pootogook has included many details of the snowmobile, from the various components of the green outboard motor on the back to the gears of the track. The details stand out even more because the artist hasn’t included a background, just the white paper: we can focus on the cold and shiny red chrome, the smell of gasoline, how the fur trim would feel against our faces. Perhaps the background evokes the white tundra. Along the b by CUAG Audio Description Tour for Drawing on Our History
