Unalaska has some very nice
museums that highlight the culture and history of the area.
The artifacts here were at the Unalaska Museum. Above are
gutskin parka. They are traditional Aleut raincoats made
from the intestines of seals and other sea creatures. The
hat below is based on the hats worn by the ancestral hunter
hats. The baskets below are ancestral pieces that were
weaved by the women out of sea-grasses. They are small
pieces of art. I saw one once in a store that was the size
of a thimble and was selling for $500. |
