Clothing






Clothing mainly consist of moose and caribou hide, which is sewn by women and men. But mostly women. Traditional clothing reflects the resources. Moose and caribou hide moccasins and boots were important part of the wardrobe, and the outfits are very beautiful. The process to tan skin is a hard labour job, you need strength, patience and skill. They go into great detail with the sewing and beads.
