I do leather crafting and have cut myself ...@3:42 she is making me nervous with that sharp leather knife !Beautiful tool..That knife is amazing!I would love to come across some seal hide I can imagine it would be quite expensive to buy !Great tutorial!This beautiful Inupiaq Matriarch's wisdom and leather craft skills are a blessing to learn .Thank you so much for sharing this!
Great job. Is the seal skin naturaly waterproof. I have a steer rawhide and wondered how that might work. No seals around here. Some moose but we can't hunt them yet. That's great that your keeping the heritage alive. I would be more socialable if there were things like that to do. Looked like great fun.
I just love when native elders tell their stories back in the day 🥰
Don’t let the skills disappear. The best way is always the native ways.
So nice to see some young people interested enough in their heritage to learn this ancient art form keeping it alive for another generation.
Thank you, this was very interesting. I wish you could show the whole procedure to make mukluk, including the waterproof stitches.

What are some alternitives to oogruk hide for the soles? Or where can I buy the oogruk hide?
thank you
Where I can find/buy original hand-made mukluks/dolgan shoes...? :)
Can you make me a pair please size 8 fringes alot on the side.
Ana bassee.
It's a shame, these techniques are being lost to time. Yes, labor intensive but isn't that the point of hand making something?
