Akpaliapik was born in Baffin Island and lived with his family in Arctic Bay since 1967. His wife and two children were killed in a fire in 1980, after which Akpaliapik moved to Montreal and subsequently to Toronto. He learned carving from his family and started to carve professionally after 1980. In 1989, he received a government grant to study certain aspects of Inuit culture. He is also active in giving workhops about Inuit art. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
