UAKALLANGA 1*9 - Atigi_INUK REV

For thousands of years, Inuit have crafted parkas from the natural materials available to them—caribou, wolf, seal, and even bird skin—designed to survive the harsh Arctic climate. These traditional garments were not only practical but deeply connected to Inuit identity and ingenuity. In today’s world, modern parkas are made with contemporary fabrics, blending tradition with innovation. In this episode, Mary Lee-Aliyak, originally from Rankin Inlet and now living in Iqaluit, walks us through the process of creating a modern parka, inspired by generations of knowledge.
