Kinngait (Cape Dorset) Inuit limited-edition print
World-renowned Indigenous art with a 65-year co-op legacy — the most meaningful high-end purchase in Canada if bought ethically
Price: 900 CAD (Typical stonecut/lithograph from the annual Cape Dorset print collection via authorized galleries (range C$500-1,800))
Where to buy: Authorized galleries only: Dorset Fine Arts network, Feheley Fine Arts (Toronto), Inuit galleries in Vancouver/Montréal — revenue flows back to the artist co-op

- Ethics first: buy through the West Baffin Co-op/Dorset Fine Arts chain so artists are paid — avoid mass-produced 'Inuit-style' airport trinkets (look for the Igloo Tag authenticity mark)
- Prints and stone carvings travel legally; NEVER buy sealskin, ivory or whalebone if US-bound — the US Marine Mammal Protection Act bans them outright
- Each print is a numbered edition (usually 50) with artist and printmaker credited
- India-bound: carry the gallery invoice; art above ₹50,000 allowance is dutiable
