The title of this carving by Kupakik Ningeocheak is Fishman. Kupakik is well known for his transformation carvings: fish, birds, bears and humans. Other similar carvings have titles like Fish-Shaman I am not sure where Kupakik resides as I have two references: Coral Harbor and Rankin Inlet. The tag with this carving actually says Sanikiluaq, so that makes it actually three different locations. However they are all around Hudson Bay, another northern region with many changes happening because of southern expension into the North. Sanikiluaq with a population of around 800 people is located on the Belcher Islands. I like Kupakik's work as it is a testimony to the old traditions with Shamans and transformations.
The carving measures 12 inches by 3.5 inches by 4.5 inches and dates from 1999.
