Ruby Jones and her daughter Mina begin cutting material to make
traditional Kuspuk's for the Shishmaref Dancers trip to Stebbins.
Kuspuks are worn by Eskimo Dancers varied by style according to
village and area traditions. The 21st Century after school programs
donated the funds for the materials.
Kuspuk's pictured left, worn by Barrow Dancer's show distinctive white markings on the collars signifying the white tusks of the Walrus. Other areas especially the Canadians will include very long outfits using several types of animal skins. Kuspuk's can be worn for every day, special occasions or specifically for Dance Groups.
