Does the Stone or Style vary from region to region?
Although Inuit Sculpture may appear to be homogenous to the untrained eye, the stone as well as the style varies greatly from region to region. The total Inuit population of over 30,000 is widely distributed across Canada’s Northwest Territories, Yukon, and Nunavut. Each of the communities which produce art has developed its own favourite subject matter and sculptural style, which is partly determined by the stone with which the artists have to work with. Briefly, these areas are described below.
