As a young man, Kanayuk was one of the first wave of Povungnituk artists to become involved in printmaking. Strong management skills, a mild temperment and a shy but forceful personality made him an attractive candidate for the position of manager of the Povungnituk print shop. Beginning in the early 1960's, he was one of the youngest people to occupy this position. In 1972 he resigned from the print shop, intending to concentrate on his art, but returned in 1977, due to popular demand. He is best known for his depictions of animals.His work is included in the collections of the Canadian Museum of Civilization, the Royal Ontario Museum and the National Gallery of Canada, among many others.-------------------Inuit Artists Print Workbook son of Ayagutainakkanayuk was the manager of the POV print shop for all but five of the first 26 years.
