The school museum is like a glimpse into the past. It shows the ways that Inuit people lived. |

This is a bag of animal bones. It was used for a variety of games. Inuit enjoy playing games during the long winter in the igloo. Games "such as bone bags (coastal - seal fipper bones; inland - caribou feet bones)" were played (Inuuqatigiit, 1996). "There was friendly competition and people were encouraged not to get too serious or upset when someone was better than you." (Inuuqatigiit,1996) |
These are kamiks or skin boots. Women sewed kamiks using seal skin or caribou skin. They used sinew for thread. "It was critical that a woman learned to sew well. . . If a man froze any part of his body, it was blamed on the woman's inability to sew properly." (Inuuqatigiit,1996) |
