Sculpture
Elizabeth's late husband, Andy Aulatjut was a carver. Her daughter and
son-in-law, Mary Ayaq and Luke Anowtalik are also artists.
"Elizabeth Nutaraluk Aulatjut, a Canadian Inuit sculptor, was born near
Ennadai Lake, 200 miles inland from the community of Arviat (Eskimo Point),
Northwest Territories. She and the surviving members of her own large family
were airlifted to Arviat in 1957 after enduring a decade of famine. Her first
carvings were bartered for food while she was still living on the land. She
still supports much of her family with her art income."
