C. M. Kokuluk (Charles M. Kokuluk, 1940–2019) was an Iñupiaq carver from King Island, Alaska, celebrated for his finely detailed walrus‑ivory bird sculptures—especially ducks, geese, and loons—distinguished by precise scrimshaw feathering and smooth, balanced forms. Working first in Nome and later in Anchorage, Kokuluk became one of the most recognizable King Island ivory artists of the late 20th century, with his carvings appearing in galleries, museum collections, and auctions that consistently highlight his skill in naturalistic Arctic wildlife representation.
