Literature:

Darlene Coward Wight, Art & Expression of the Netsilik, The Winnipeg Art Gallery, 2000, page 99.

Note:

The artist was born in Gjoa Haven but moved with his parents to Taloyoak (Spence Bay) in 1962. He spent a year in an Edmonton hospital where he made his first carving. As a carpenter he is usually busy with building projects, but he sets some time aside for carving sculptures. This work would be his most popular and defining subject matter.
