This is an example of an Inuit mask by Manasie Akpaliapik. It is made with big eyes, gigantic ears, an open mouth, and flying hair. It shows a shaman. This was important to the Inuit because the shaman could see and hear things that other people couldn't, change into animals, and fly.
This is my mask. I made it with clay and paint. It shows a polar bear spirit. I made it because the polar bear gave the Inuit meat, bones, and fur.
