year of death also given as: 1985half brother of Oshaweetuk Ipeelee and Sheokju (male)------------------INNUKI OQUTAQ (ENOOKY; EUNUKEE; ENOOKIE) Born: 1926 Male E3-740 Place of Birth: Cape Dorset Died: 1986 Resided: Cape Dorset; also lived in Iqaluit and Coral Harbour Sculpture, Drawings, Prints Innuki Oqutaq was the brother of the famous Cape Dorset sculptor and graphic  artist Osuitok Ipeelee.   "Enooky is best known for his exquisitely engraved work on highly polished  caribou antler. His precise and delicate line work combined with the free,  natural form of the antler gives his work a sense of fluid movement. His  images are often concerned with sea life and traditional Inuit hunting  implements and clothing, particularly the kamik (boot). The kamik is often  repeated many times on a particular work. Enooky has a keen sensitivity to  the placement of these graphic elements within the positive and negative shape of the antler, making him one of the most sophisticated artists in this  medium."*   *from "Enooky (Innuki Oqutaq)," exhibition brochure, Image of  the Inuit, Los Angeles, California, 1981.
