Regional Variations in Bird Skin Preparation Techniques and Parka Designs
The objectives of this study were: (a) to identify historical bird skin preparation techniques and parka styles, (b) to identify bird skin clothing‐production techniques used by Inuit in the circumpolar region, and (c) to determine factors influencing regional variations in skin preparation and park...
