Peter Aliknak Banksland (1928–1998) was an Inuit carver and printmaker from Utkraluk (Baillie Island), NT. He moved to Ulukhaktok (Holman Island) in 1934 and became a founding artist of the Holman Printmaking program. Primarily a printmaker, he explored techniques such as stonecut, lithography, and etching, depicting traditional Inuit life amid rapid cultural change. His stylized prints, characterized by expressive figures and minimal color, focused on storytelling rather than realism. Banksland’s work has been widely exhibited and is held in major collections, including the National Gallery of Canada and the National Museum of the American Indian.
