Inuit (often referred to as Eskimo in older contexts) and Alaskan Native artists have a long tradition of carving and scrimshawing walrus ivory, often incorporating or depicting mammoths.

These materials have been used for millennia for tools, amulets, toys, and art. Contemporary carvings often feature animals like walruses, polar bears, whales—or woolly mammoths, tying into the ancient Arctic heritage.
