Paulassie Pootoogook was a prolific sculptor from Igalalik (Gordon Bay). His father, Pootoogook (1887-1958), was a community leader and an instrumental figure in the formation of the village of Kinngait (Cape Dorset), which the family later moved to. As the eldest of four brothers, all well-known art makers, Paulassie began his career as a printmaker but is often more recognized for his skill in carving.
