Inuit stone carving sculptures represent one of the most iconic forms of Indigenous Arctic art. These sculptures primarily come from Inuit communities in Canada (especially Nunavut regions like Cape Dorset, Iqaluit, and others), with some from Alaska and Greenland. Eskimo roughly translates to "eaters of raw meat" and Inuit means "the people" in their own languages
