Canadian Museum of Civilization: 1994. 136 pages, 13 color and 95 b/w photographs, 15 drawings, 2 maps. Item #7885
The history of Copper and Caribou Inuit clothing and personal adornment is traced via archaeological, written accounts of early explorers, traders, and anthropologists, as well as 20th century photographs and drawings of garments from museum collections. Their functional--and frequently beautiful--pants, parkas, and mittens, often strikingly decorated and embroidered, were made by skillful Inuit seamtresses from early times to the present day. In addition to the early garments, there is a full presentation of contemporary Inuit clothing.
