Bio: Jaipiti Inutiq was born on May 20th, 1962 in Clyde River. He moved to Arctic Bay in 1985. He has one son. He started carving when he was 13 years old to make some money because there were no jobs available at the time. He mainly carves whale bone and narwhal tusks. He also works with stones and ivory. Jaipiti would like to see a carving facility in Arctic Bay, believing carvers work better when they are warm. He also encourages youth to become more involved in carving.
