Choose Your Own Culture

The culture I chose is the Yupik people, who are aboriginal to Alaska and often called Eskimos. They have many traditions, including seal hunting and the making of canoes. One of their cultural traditions is making parkas with elaborate designs.The style is still sometimes mimicked in modern day western clothing, as it is warm and lined with fur and perfect for a cold winter. the clothes are composed of animal skin and fur and are made of small squares of fabric sewn together. I mimicked creating a checkered pattern in black and white.
