Hand-made seal skin dolls with hoods made of polar bear fur, by renowned artist Ursula Paniyak, of Chevak, Alaska. What makes Paniyak’s traditional Cup’ik Eskimo dolls especially unique is how their limbs are positioned to be fishing, dancing, weaving baskets, or representing any other number of cultural native activities.

Photo taken at the Alaska Native Arts & Crafts Fair during Alaska Federation of Natives (AFN) annual convention – this event is renowned as one of the best places to find Alaska Native and American Indian artwork.
