Jimmy Killiktee is an Inuit sculptor from Cape Dorset, Nunavut, part of a distinguished lineage of Inuit artists. Born in 1987, Killiktee began carving at the age of 12, creating his first sculpture of a seal, for which he earned $20. His artistic journey was deeply influenced by his family—his father, Shortie Killiktee, was a notable artist, and his grandparents on his mother's side, Kopapik Ragee and Arnirnik Ragee, were well-respected Cape Dorset artists. His brothers, Toonoo, Napachie, and Allasuaq Sharky, are also renowned carvers.
