Clothing

In view of the harsh climate, warm and weatherproof clothing is of fundamental importance for the peoples of the North. Such clothing must be adapted to different seasons and the respective activities. At the same time, the pursuit of beauty and aesthetic ideas of these peoples could be expressed particularly well here. Traditional forms of clothing design and certain ornaments are a way of showing ethnic or family affiliations, which are also used to indicate social relationships. Above all, these activities give women pride and self-esteem, just as a successful hunt does for men, making both sexes aware of their contribution to their common well-being.
