Jessie Oonark, OC RCA was a prolific, influential Canadian Inuit artist of the Utkuhihalingmiut Utkuhiksalingmiut whose wall hangings, prints and drawings are in major collections including the National Gallery of Canada. She was born in 1906 in the Chantrey Inlet area, near the estuary of the Back River in the Keewatin District of the Northwest Territories—the traditional lands of the Utkukhalingmiut Utkukhalingmiut, Utkukhalingmiut. Her artwork portrays aspects of the traditional hunter-nomadic life that she lived for over five decades, moving from fishing camp near the mouth of Back River on Chantrey Inlet in the Honoraru area to their caribou hunting camp in the Garry Lake area, living in winter snow houses and caribou skin tents in the summer. Oonark learned early how to prepare skins and sew caribou skin clothing. They subsisted mainly on trout, whitefish, and barren-ground caribou. The knife used by women, the ulu, their clothing, the kamik, the amauti were recurring themes in her work. Oonark has had a major museum retrospective with accompanying scholarly monograph. Despite a late start - she was 54 years old when her work was first published - she was a very active and prolific artist over the next 19 years, creating a body of work that won considerable critical acclaim and made her one of Canada's best known Inuit artists.
