Sperm whale
Today Greenlandic culture is a blending of traditional Inuit (Kalaallit, Tunumiit, Inughuit) and Scandinavian culture. Inuit, or Kalaallit, culture has a strong artistic tradition, dating back thousands of years. The Kalaallit are known for an art form of figures called "tupilak" or a "spirit object". Traditional art-making practices thrive in the "Ammassalik". Sperm whale ivory remains a valued medium for carving.
