Like most native tribes, the Inuit found art subjects in the world that surrounded them. The animals they hunted, the animals they tamed, the successful hunt, the canoe or kayak, the tribe elders, the plants they grew for food or used for decoration...all gave rise to art forms. Simple decorated bowls, carved useful items..such as spoons or ladles, decorative wall hangings all bore depictions of what they saw, used and knew. The more skilled the artist, the more elaborate the art. Their carvings and pictographs could be used to tell a story, when linked together. As the outside world moved in, they realized the value of their art as "trade" items, and started producing goods for trade and/or sale as souveniers.

What is the Inuit portrayal of nature in music dance and art?
Many of the patterns on ancient Inuit art make up animal forms, especially on hunting things, like harpoon points. Wooden masks or animals, often adorned with fish, clams, and seals, are used to help a dancer become an animal or a spirit as represented by the mask. An important section of Inuit art is the parka, which is made to help an Inuit man in his work as a hunter, both symbolically and for warmth in the cold environment.
