ALASKA
Yup’ik Eskimo
The Yup’ik people live in South west Alaska.They are one branch of the peoples called Inuit or Eskimo.
South west Alaska is not as cold as the northern Arctic region.The Yup’ik people have never lived in igloos.Years ago they lived in houses that were partly below ground level.Today they live in homes similar to most people in Alaska.
In cold weather they wear coats called parkas made of animal skins.The women decorate the parkas with borders of a repeated pattern.Each family has its own pattern which is handed down to the children and the grandchildren.
They make the border by sewing small pieces of skin to a strip of skin in a contrasting colour.
The patterns are called turnaqcat which means ‘cutout patterns”.
Each pattern has a name in Yup’ik language.The ending of the name tells you that it is “pretend”-“pretend windows for example.The thick straight lines are “sled tracks”.
