Osuitok Ipeelee RCA (Inuktitut: ᐅᓱᐃᑐ ᐃᐱᓕ,[1] 23 September 1923 - 2005[2]) was an Inuk sculptor who lived in Cape Dorset, Nunavut. His sculptures in green soapstone of caribou and birds are particularly valued for their balance and delicacy. He was an early collaborator with James Archibald Houston, and by Houston's account was instrumental in the conception of the West Baffin Island Eskimo Cooperative. He was also one of the witnesses of the last-remembered traditional Inuit trial.[3]
