This simple caribou fur hat, trimmed along the bottom with bear or wolverine, reminded Yup'ik elders of the ways that clothing expresses place, identity, and family, and how it connects the thoughts and lives of human and animal beings. People wore circular caps like this in regions south of the Yukon River, where parkas were made without hoods.
