Carvings of animals on which Inuit relied for survival have formed an important genre. Inuit recognize that animals too are hunters, such as these wolves capturing a caribou. In 1958 Charlie Sivuarapik (along with Father Steinmann, an Oblate missionary) was instrumental in establishing the Sociéte des Sculptueurs de Povungnituk, one of the first artists' organizations in the North.
