I had the chance to sit in on a sewing class held to teach traditional parka making. Wolf fur is being measured for making mittens.

Dorothy watches Kaden while her mom, Mary in the background, adjusts a woman's parka lining. The 2 girls are working on caribou hide to soften it for making inuit boots - kamuks. If you look closely at the girl on the right, you might recognize her as the star of the Snowwalker movie! They were gracious in allowing me to watch. At one point, Mary pulled out a frozen char from the freezer, and the women sat around cutting off pieces of frozen char to eat along with some frozen black berries and home made bannock. Many Inuit deep fry their bannock. Hard on the arteries, but tastes great!
