Inuit Symbolism of the Bearded Seal
The skins of the bearded seal-both dress and interior skins-were indispensable in Inuit/Yupiit technology. Converted into straps, thongs, covers, pokes, rain clothing, and underwear, the skins served to make transport possible, facilitate hunting activities, and protect people against wet and stormy weather. Similarly, the same skin objects permitted contact and exchanges with the beings of the Other Worlds, on which the earthly life of humans de…

The Whites became incorporated into that myth together with elements of Christianity, and Sea Woman gained in religious significance. This happened prior to the establishment of Christian missions and was furthered by Sea Woman's traditional role in myth as a mediator of the relationship of exc…
The professional ecstatic in his social and ritual position
