Note:

A magnificent polar bear twisting and turning at impossible angles, Aqjangajuk’s wildlife carvings are some of the most imaginative and lively to come from the art community of Cape Dorset. He learned to carve by watching his grandfather Kiakshuk carve. His sons are accomplished carvers as well.
