Episode of Series “The Stories of Tuktu”.
Tuktu and other children are shown being fitted for and dressed in warm winter clothes, beautifully made by the Inuit women. We see the cutting, stitching and use of Arctic clothing, and we learn how important it is for Inuit mothers to be clever seamstresses.
