Inuit Carving

So, I am having the worst time getting a good picture of Dante's soap carving, but I hate not to add it.

Did you know?

The Inuit live in areas within and near the Arctic, from the northeastern tip of Russia across Alaska and northern Canada, to Greenland. The Inuit call themselves by words that mean "the people." In Canada they are Inuit, Yupik in Alaska and Yuit in Siberia. Historically, they carved images of the animals they've hunted or in traditional myths and stories they told, or as toys for their children. Today the Inuit carve to make works of art to sell and support their families. Most Inuit carvings show polar bears, walrus, seals or Inuit hunters and are carved from soapstone, a soft, talc-based stone that easily accepts carving techniques.
