This is an example of an Inuit sculplture made by Paul Toolooktook. It is made by carvng and filing soapstone. It shows two men wrestling. This was the important to the Inuit because it helped them practise to be strong and helped them prepare for hunting.

This is my soapstone carving. I made it by filing a piece of soapstone. It shows a big stone. I made it because carving is important to the Inuit people. This is how they support their families.
