Name: David Kalluk

Bio: David Kalluk was born in April 30th, 1945. Although his birth certificate says he was born in Arctic Bay, he was born in Qakkiat. He moved to Arctic Bay in 1973. He lives happily with his wife Leah, who also carves. They have 11 children, six sons and 5 daughters. He first began to carve to earn money. Like every other carver he knows what he will carve by the shape and size of the stone or ivory and makes rings out of narwhal tusk. David says consumer demand is at a low and he would like to see an art gallery in Arctic Bay.
