 Attaching the patterned part of the Kamik, they quickly begin to take shape.

 Deborah shares her knowledge from years of creating, helping Louisa and Tori in learning the process

Working the soles, cutting them to fit, using the hide softening tools to help squish the fat out

 They begin sticking the patterns onto the hides, joining pieces for the largest part of the Kamik.

 Working mostly in silence, three artists work together to create two pairs of Kamiks.

 Tori is creating a pattern for her Kamiks, black and white squares which alternate along the sides

 Using a tool made for Deborah by Arctic College, Tori and Deborah begin softening the hides further

 Zach, Jerry, and Nataq take the boat to the floe edge; Zach shoots a seal and Nataq tows it back

 Deborah, Lousia and Tori continue sewing, helping each other as threads tangle, knot and run out.

 Beginning to draw patterns on the hides, they carefully cut them with an ulu

 Finding the rhythm of working with hide, the three of them continue to soften and stretch the hides

 Deborah and Lousia soften the hides, stretching them out, removing extra skin.

 Jerry and Pakak caulk, sand, and paint the floe edge boat bright blue while music plays.

Jerry and Pakak carefully cut the bow; Pakak and Nymon later relax with tea and an orange.
