Here is an Alaska Eskimo/Siberian Yupik doll, in traditional seal gut parka with hood, fur leggings, mukluks, and mittens. This eight-inch tall doll, with great attention to detail, was made by noted Yupik Eskimo gut sewer and doll maker, Elaine Kingeekuk from Savoonga, Saint Lawrence Island, located in the Bering straits region of Alaska.
Elaine acquired her doll-making skills in part from her relatives, Floyd and Amelia Kingeekuk, widely considered to be two of Alaska's greatest Native doll makers.
