Work in progeress - seal intestines from a traditional hunt and salmon leather will soon morph into a ceremonial bag.
BTW: I’m itching to design a seal gut cape and hat…🤩

That’s dried bear guts! Lol, wrap your head around that one. Students helped with prep work, blowing these up for drying, and finally- cutting into strips for garment making.

Native Village of Afognak :: Dig Afognak Dig Afognak's purpose is to connect Sugpiat (Alutiiq Peoples) with our rich heritage through connection to community, land, and traditional practices through hands-on cultural experiences and activities with Alaska Native artists, Culture Bearers, and Elders. While NVA focuses on local Alutiiq arts....

Not for the faint of stomach! Students learn from me how to clean and prepare bear or seal intestines. Once blown up and dried, intestines are cut and sewn into bags, hats, capes, doll clothing, or rain parkas.
