Joelie Pappatsie

Settlement: Pannirtuq / Pangnirtung

(1954) — E6-912

July Papatsie resides in Aylmer. He has also lived in Pangnirtung and Montreal. "My grandfather was originally from Purvirnituq, and one day he chipped a tooth on a hunting trip which later got infected badly enough to get a swollen cheek. When the Nascopie arrived on their annual patrol to check the Inuit, he was taken aboard without notifying his family. He spent a year in the Pangnirtung hospital and realized the hunting was much better in Pang than it was in Northern Quebec. Later, when the Nascopie landed in Lake Harbour, he got back aboard and picked up his family in Purvirnituq and moved to Pang in 1932. My grandmother from my mother's side came from Cape Dorset, she married five husbands after each died naturally or by accident, so that her family could survive. My father, Aisa, is also a carver and my sister Oleepa is a tapestry artist. My favourite themes are transformations of shamans and ceremonial masks. When I can take time off from my job with the Canadian Inuit Art Information Centre, I ; on Baffin Outward Trips as an instructor. My hobbies include running, Cumberland Sound oral history, outdoors, snowboarding and movies." -------- Exhibitions 1997 itiraire inuit, recontrer un peuple travers son art, UNESCO headquarters sponsored by association Inukshuk L'homme debo, Paris, France 1991 Jawbone Sculpture, The Innuit Gallery of Eskimo Art, Toronto, ON 1981 Pangnirtung Whalebone Sculpture, The Snow Goose, Ottawa, ON 1980 Pangnirtung Community Sculpture, Gallery Phillip, Don Mills, ON 1980 Pangnirtung Whalebone Sculpture, Gallery One, Toronto, ON
