This is an example of an Inuit sculpture by Adamie Alariaq. It is made of stone and ivory. It shows a Narwhal spirit. This was important to the Inuit because the whale gave them meat. They made tools out of the tusks and bones. Sometimes the birds ate the whale if it became beached on the sand when it swam too fast.
This is my soapstone sculpture. I made it by carving soapstone with a file. Then I polished it with sandpaper and used oil from my hands and face to make it shiny .It shows a whale. I made it because the whale gives lots of meat and tools can be made out of its bones and tusks.
