This sculpture shows a man about whom there is a well-known Netsilik story. He was believed to do everything wrong, and was not well-liked.
He was once travelling with his wife when they came across some caribou. The man started beating his dogs and making a loud noise, instead of quietly stalking the caribou. His wife told him not to be so noisy, or the caribou would run away.
The man then took up his knife and ran after the caribou. He returned later and travelled on with his wife and dogs. They came across a group of dead caribou, and the wife suddenly realized that her husband had run so swiftly that he had been able to overtake and kill them.

Inuit iggaak – or snow goggles – are a tool carved from bone, ivory, driftwood, caribou antler, or even stone. They are sometimes considered a precursor to sunglasses, as they are used to prevent snow blindness from the glare of the sun on white snowy landscapes.
