Chupak Whalebone Bear with Three Salmon

Whalebone bear with Three Salmon made from Antler handcrafted by local Juneau artist Chupak

Chupak, a sensitive and creative Alaskan artist, signs his work "Chup AK" which is a derivative of his name combined with the name of his home, Alaska.

The word "home" has special meaning for Chupak, as he has come to love his adopted land, Alaska, having endured so much to enjoy the freedom of the Great Land - freedom to create in a supportive, dynamic environment.
