 Thomassie Kudluk (1910 – 1989) (1)

A prominent Canadian Inuit* carver and sculptor, Thomassie Kudluk (disc number* E8-873) was born into a traditional nomadic life on the Ungava Peninsula, Nunavik, Quebec; and, moved to Kangirsuk (formerly Payne Bay and Bellin); which is on the east coast of the Ungava Peninsula and the western coast of Ungava Bay; while still a child.
