Wolf and Wolverine Masks


The wolf and the wolverine were animals that were highly sought by the Inuvialuit for its practical and and aesthetic use in parkas and other clothing.  
Men of the tribe would incorporate the dressed animals head, for a parka top.  
The wolverine fur is resistant to frost, so making a perfect outer layer, and the wolf is softer, good for a parka lining.
