About MeInuit artist Patrick Akovak printed many of his own drawings from 1966 until his premature death in 1976 at the age of 32. Many of his imaginative drawings depict stories he heard as a child.

Akovak was born at Rymer Point north of Kugluktuk in Nunavut Territory, Canada. His parents later moved to Read Island where he met his wife, artist Elsie Klengenberg. Akovak began carving sculpture and in a print catalogue produced in 1968 he is described as "primarily a sculptor, but lately he has started drawing and his drawings depict clear-cut designs and are always full of originality." (Father Tardy).
