Summary:

"This book offers an open window into the caribou skin clothing worn by the Iglulingmiut, as well as their neighbours, the Tununirmiut to the north and the Aivilingmiut to the south. The cultural similarities between these groups was due to a shared trait: their subsistence was based both on land game, mainly caribou, and on sea game, mainly seal and walrus. In this book, we will focus on the former"--Page 7.
