Charlie Sivuarapik (1911–1968) was a renowned carver from Puvirnituq, Nunavik, QC, who worked primarily in stone. He lived in Puvirnituq since the early 1950s, when it is theorized that he was first encouraged to carve by James Houston during the latter’s 1948 visit to Puvirnituq. Sivuarapik was known for his depictions of the human form, both clothed and nude, and for his carvings of mythological scenes. A founding member of the Carvers Association of Povungnituk and President of the Povungnituk Co-operative Society, Sivuarapik was also the first Inuk to be inducted into the Sculptors Society of Canada. His works are held in permanent collections across Canada, including the Winnipeg Art Gallery in Manitoba and the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, ON.
