=Manasie Akpaliapik= Manasie Akpaliapik (23 August 1955) is a Canadian Inuit artist, based in Ottawa and Montreal. Akpaliapik was born in a hunting camp in the vicinity of Arctic Bay on Baffin Island.

Akpaliapik learned to carve by observing his parents, Lazaroosee Akpaliapik and Nakyuraq Akpaliapik, his adopted grandparents, artists Peter Ahlooloo and Elisapee Kanangnaq Ahlooloo and his maternal great aunt Paniluk Qamanirq. His grandparents are deceased.

He moved with his family to Arctic Bay in 1967, and at the age of twelve was sent to residential school in Iqaluit. Objecting to restrictions on the use of Inuktitut and traditional inuit beliefs, he left the school when he was sixteen and returned to Arctic Bay with his wife Noodloo. After the death of Noodloo and their two children in a housefire in 1980, Akpaliapik moved to Montreal where he resumed his sculpture. Later, Akpaliapik moved to Toronto.

A Canada Council grant in 1989 made it possible for Akpaliapik to return to Arctic Bay to learn drum dancing and kayak making and research and collect stories told by elders.

Two works by Akpaliapik are in the collection of the National Gallery of Canada: Qalupiluk (1991), a sea monster from a cautionary tale who lures children onto the sea ice, capturing them in his parka that serves a a metaphor for the problems facing young inuit—unemployment, drugs and alcohol. Untitled (1991) is a whalebone sculpture of a head, with a soapstone bottle inserted in the skull, also deals with alcohol abuse among Inuit.

Work that Akpaliapik created while living in Toronto has been exhibited at the Art Gallery of Ontario since June 2014. The Winnipeg Art Gallery exhibited his work in 1990 in a show curated by Darlene Wright called Manasie: The Art of Manasie Akpaliapik.

Akpaliapik believes that art serves a constructive atavistic role of restoring important elements of past culture, even though he has not fully lived them.

Akpaliapik has mentioned that he likes the work of Robert Davidson and his brother Bill Reid.

Tools and materials
Akpaliapik works with bone, ivory and stone, narwhal tusk, walrus tusk , (northern) soapstone, marble, indiana stone, caribou antler. In an interview with John Ayre from 1993, Akpaliapik learned to use rotary tools from artists in Montreal, and spends $3500 annually on sandpaper, glues and carbide steel and diamond tools for hard stone.

Collections
An Inukshuk by Akpaliapik is installed on the rooftop of WAG.

Shaman Summoning Taleelayuk to Release Animals (1989) is in the collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery
