Natsivaar (also written as Netsivarr; 1919 – 1962) was an Inuk artist known for her drawings, prints, and graphite works.[1][2]

Natsivaar was born in Nunavut in 1919. She lived a nomadic lifestyle for most of her life and intermittently resided in Cape Dorset (now Kinngait). She began drawing while she resided in the settlement of Tikirak in the 1950s. Only two of her prints were published before her death: Mother and Son (in the 1960 Cape Dorset Print Collection) and Angels in the Moon (in the 1961/1962 collection). She died in Cape Dorset, Nunavut in 1962.[1][2]
