I used to remember how old I was  but I have a poor memory and have forgotten now. I know it was around the  time Cape Dorset became a settlement. I was born in an igloo. My father was  Towatuga and my mother was Karalooatoo... . When I was young I loved to  follow my grandfather and the other men in the camp hunting. I don't remember what it was like to hunt with spears and harpoons since most of the men had  rifles. As a boy I was afraid of whiteman because I imagined they wanted to  kidnap me... .   When I was a teenager I started to carve. At first I used to sit and etch  many ivory tusks. I later carved stone. My family needed money or food so  this is why I carved. I enjoy carving women out of hard dark stone best. For  many years I have carved. I usually carve every day. I have no other job."   from an interview with the artist  (date unknown)  EXHIBITIONS: 1963 Canadian Sculptors of the Arctic National Gallery of Canada  Ottawa, Ontario Jan - Feb 1963 ART ESKIMO Galerie de France  Paris, France (illustrated catalogue) December 1968 Arts and Crafts Carving Competition held in Iqaluit  Northwest Territories May - June 1969 Eskimo Sculpture '69 Robertson Galleries  Ottawa, Ontario (illustrated catalogue) 1971 - 1973 Sculpture/Inuit: Masterworks of the Canadian Arctic  Canadian Eskimo Arts Council  Ottawa, Ontario (tour) (illustrated catalogue) Oct - Nov 1973 Sculpture Inuit 25 Years After Canadian Guild of Crafts Quebec  Montreal, Quebec 1975 Sculpture from Frobisher Bay Canadian Guild of Crafts Quebec  Montreal, Quebec June - July 1976 Inuit Sculpture Arctic Arts Gallery  Edmonton, Alberta Aug - Sept 1979 Cape Dorset: Recent Sculpture Gallery of the Arctic  Victoria, British Columbia (illustrated catalogue) Sept - Oct 1979 Inuit Sculpture from the Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene B.
