File:Inuitkvinder Skraber Rensdyrskind - Inuit Women Scraping Caribou Skin (15143756777).jpg
Two Inuit women scraping a caribou skin in Alaska. Scraping blood, fat and mebranes off the skin was important. Un-scraped skin becomes stiff and decompose fast. Both women are wearing a Mother Hubbard dress of European cloth with a skin lining. The Mother Hubbard dress was introduced in Alaska by European missionaries in the late 19th century. This type of dress is also known from Hawaii and Polynesia, but without the skin lining. In other areas of the Arctic European material and dress details like pockets and glass beads found their way into Inuit skin clothing. Photo from the 5th Thule-expedition 1921-24.
