註釋The purpose of this study is to describe skin boot production in Arctic Bay and to analyze the factors influencing kamik production. This description may be valuable to northern educators, applied anthropologists, folklorists, ethnologists, and curators. Sealskin preparation and boot construction techniques were collected through participant-observation. Influencing factors were divided into social, physical and economic categories. Family size, lifestyle, health, knowledge, age, sex, time, and abilities of the seamstress; the availability, the price, and condition of seal pelts; and the season, terrain, social occasion, and the end use of skin boots influenced their production.
