Peter Andrew Lind, Jr., Alutiiq/Sugpiaq, was born in Dillingham in 1964 and raised in Southwestern Alaska. Born into a fishing family of the Bristol Bay area, he began working as an artist in the late 1980's when fishing was poor.  Growing up in a small village on the coast, he often spent his time building models, working with his hands. Later, watching his father, Peter Lind Sr., the great carver of Aleut hunting hats (qayaatx^ux^), he came to understand that he could use his own talents to carve but wanted to work with traditional items in a more modern way.

Peter began creating smaller works— pins and earrings—that contained beadwork his wife Susan made. He gradually worked up to the larger, more finely crafted pieces that he makes today. These include— hunting dolls of sea mammal parts, miniature shadow box replicas of Aleut hunting gear, bentwood visors from steamed Sitka Spruce, masks, and atlatls (throwing darts) made in the traditional way.

Peter Jr. continues to participate in a variety of Native art shows throughout the year such as Alaska Federation of Natives Art Show and Fur Rondy. During the 2000 Fur Rondy, Peter was interviewed for Heartbeat Alaska. His website, Bits of Alaska, was featured in a First Alaskans magazine in 2001. His Aleut Hunter carving took both division and first place in the 2003 Fur Rondy juried competition. Beginning in 2004, Peter Jr. started doing presentations in local schools to give the children a look at how native hunters lived and hunted.  In 2005 he was one of the artists in a First Friday gallery opening for the Alaska Native Heritage Center. In 2007 he was awarded a grant from the Alaska Native Arts Foundation.

Lind is an authenticated member of the Silver Hand, an Alaska Native artist program. He has also been a member of the Indian Arts and Crafts Association (IACA) since 2007. In 2019, he was awarded a Rasmuson Foundation Individual Artist Award Fellowship.

Peter Jr. hopes to use his artwork to educate and preserve Native culture for the younger generations.
