Ruth Sangoya lives in the community of Mittimatalik (Pond Inlet). She is a prominent community elder who spent much of her early life living a traditional life on the land. She is an expert seamstress, and has taught many generations how to sew. For the 2015 Mittimatalik Arnait Miqsuqtuit Project, Ruth Sangoya held a series of workshops on sealskin kamik making. This clip was filmed in February of 2015. Here, expert seamstress Ruth Sangoya demonstrates how to attach an instep to a pair of bleached sealskin (naluaq) kamiks.

As we move into the new year, we look back at our research projects and share our achievements through video and image collections.

Mittimatalik Arnait Miqsuqtuit Collective was founded in January 2015. Our goal is to create a digital archive of sealskin sewing master classes for use by local seamstresses who want to learn the skill. This compilation serves as an introduction to our work and features clips from our first set of sessions in February 2015. That winter we worked with expert seamstresses Ruth Sangoya, Paomee Komangapik, and Koopa Kippomee: three seamstresses who were all very keen to share their skills with younger community members.
