Sarah Meeko Nastapoka considered one of Canada's most outstanding Inuit artists. Nastapoka worked on her husband’s carvings, as well as her own. She could not spell her name and, at her request, Abraham often signed his name on her sculptures. In 1974, Nastapoka and her son set up a place to carve near the Inukjuak River. She used to go by dog team to quarry her own soapstone, which was located approximately 50 miles away in a place called Sungauyak, which means “beautiful stone” (Wight 2006:75). In an unpublished interview with Inuit Art Foundation staff in 2009, she said that she can no longer carve since her “hands do not work anymore.” This piece has an attribution mark,
I am sure that it is completely authentic and take full responsibility for any authenticity
