"Jill Oakes and Rich riewe have lived and worked with Inuit seamstresses and hunters, and here share what they have learned about the Inuit's crafts and their lives. They provide brief overview of Inuit history, and describe the vital role that skin footwear plays in the rigors of the Arctic environment. There are also disucssions of tools and techniques, the creation of patterns, and the numerous boot styles that have evolved, along with intimate details of daily life in the Arctic. But the main focus of the book is on the boots themselves. Drawing on the unparalleled collection of Toronto's Bata Shoe Museum, the splendid color photographs reveal a unique women's craft and a remarkable way of life." -back of book.
