IÑUPIAQ VERSION: HARD BOTTOM MUKLUK WORKSHOP 

I just love when native elders tell their stories back in the day 🥰

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.

I love the video! I was wondering where to get the supplies to make this?

This was a very enjoyable video to watch !! It was great to see that the young are still interested and want to learn from the elders !! I am glad to see that you will keep the old ways alive !!! They are important !!! Well done girl well done !!!

Don’t let the skills disappear. The best way is always the native ways.

Wow! Priceless is the knowledge of the Elders!

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!

How beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing. God Bless

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.

Great video !

way better than my Nike boots :) well done.

A great documentary, thank you for posting!

wow ,is this ever interesting ...it would be a crying shame to lose this knowledge...thanks for sharing...Doug (sask)

Wow,is there more? Want to see one start to finish. As native from AZ, cold weather boots are pretty much used for 2 or 3 months a year.

I wish I can learn from and with those elders, from start of making the makluks and to the ending or the finish makluks

Awesome!!!

What are some alternitives to oogruk hide for the soles? Or where can I buy the oogruk hide?

Where I can find/buy original hand-made mukluks/dolgan shoes...? :)

thank you

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?
