Eva Noah teaches some traditional knowledge at Nunavut Arctic College. I shot some video of her cutting the pattern for an amauti, an ancient Inuit jacket meant for carrying babies during nomadic journeys. Eva was making a Nunavik style amauti for her neice on this day. The Nunavut amauti is different in that it has bigger shoulders so the baby can slide from the back right under the arm, to the breast, without ever having to stop the dogsled. Inuk style!
