Françoise Oklaga (1924-1991) was a visual artist from Qamani’tuaq, Nunavut[1]. Oklaga's work ranged from illustrations to textile, carvings, and printmaking. Oklaga was a member of the indigenous Inuit community[2], and is the sister of Cape Dorset artists Pudlo Pudlat and Ooshutsiak Pudlat[3].

Oklaga's work uses bright colors and fluid shapes, and often references important aspects of Inuit culture, including shamanism and unity between humans, animals, and the earth[4][5].
