Etulu Salamonie, an Inuit artist born in Cape Dorset in 1970, comes from a family with a rich artistic tradition. Like many Inuit artists, who typically learn their craft independently, Etulu has developed his own distinctive technique and style. His specialty is carving polar bears in motion. He draws inspiration from Kellypalik Etidloie and fondly recalls watching his grandfather, Abraham, create sculptures from local stone during his youth.
