One of the unique ways about Canadian organizations is their
choice of corporate or cultural gifts. In many cases for both
companies doing corporate business and political organizations
conducting cultural affairs internationally is the use of Inuit
Eskimo soapstone carvings from the Canadian Arctic as gifts.
This is especially true for gifts to foreign individuals,
organizations or heads of state. In the world of commerce,
Canadian corporations doing international business abroad have
brought over Inuit soapstone carvings for their current or
prospective foreign business partners. Asian and European
companies have accepted Inuit soapstone carvings as corporate
gifts with much delight since Inuit art is as exotic to them as
Ferraris are to North Americans. Indeed, when doing business in
Japan or in fast growing China, Canadian Inuit art will be a
very useful tool for building long term business relationships.
This is also true for making inroads in the developing European
markets as well.
Inuit Eskimo soapstone carvings from the Canadian Arctic have
been used as cultural gifts for many years. Foreign royalty,
presidents and other diplomats have been given Inuit Eskimo
soapstone carvings as a token of Canadian culture. The recipient
list has included quite a few American presidents as well. It is
said that Prince Charles of the United Kingdom has been a huge
fan of Inuit art ever since he received a soapstone carving as a
gift many years ago. His interest has resulted in more awareness
of Canadian Inuit art in the United Kingdom. Canadian academic
and educational groups have gone abroad with Inuit Eskimo
soapstone carvings for their foreign counterparts too.
Within Canada, Inuit Eskimo soapstone carvings have been popular
retirement gift items in recent years. Sometimes they have been
awarded as prizes for high achievers like top sales people
within companies. An Inuit Eskimo soapstone carving is
definitely a nice alternative to the standard plaque or trophy
award. If such artwork is very much appreciated by recipients in
Canadian companies, just imagine how much more Inuit art would
be appreciated in companies based outside Canada such as in the
United States or Asia. A Canadian Inuit Eskimo soapstone carving
will be regarded as an extra special prize.
The use of Inuit Eskimo soapstone carvings in corporate and
cultural gift giving today is a result of just how far Inuit art
has come. It is evidence that this type of indigenous native art
has made it to the fine art status that it deserves.
