Note:

“...Pauta is primarily a sculptor, famous for his range of styles, and rightly renown for his carvings of polar bears. Bold and simple, monumental, lyrical - from the great, almost abstract bears, to his small graceful seals - his works reveal his complexity and his great personal freedom.”

Sculpture of the Inuit masterworks exhibitors of the Canadian Arctic, Joseph Murphy, 1979
