A transformation can be described as the spiritual metamorphosis of human into animal, or between various animals. Transformation subjects in Inuit art often include shamans, bears, birds, sea animals and other figures and is a recurrent and powerful subject in Inuit spirituality. Transformations of humans into animals, or between one animal and another, fill traditional Inuit stories from the era of nomadic life on the land in the arctic. Today, transformations appear regularly in Inuit sculpture as senior artists recall the older mythology, and younger artists interpret the stories they have been told by their elders.

In the past, shamans healed the sick; helped bring success in hunting, fishing, or war; and worked for spiritual balance in the community. By traveling to the spirit world, shamans could call upon spirit-helpers to aid them in recovering lost or afflicted souls.
