Summary edit

Description

En inuitkvinde fejrer forårets hvalfangst ved at springe ”himmelspræt” ved Point Barrow, Alaska. Kvinden tager afsat fra en elastisk hvalroshud, som bliver holdt af de øvrige. Kvinderne bærer en ” Mother Hubbard”-dragt af europæisk stof foret med skind. ”Mother Hubbard” dragten blev indført af europæiske missionærer i Alaska i slutningen af 1800-tallet. Dragten kendes også fra Polynesien og Hawaii, men uden for. I andre egne af Arktis fandt f.eks. europæiske glasperler og nye detaljer som lommer vej til inuits dragter. Fotografi fra 5. thuleekspedition 1921-24.

An Inuit woman celebrating the spring whale catch by blanket tossing Point Barrow, Alaska. The woman jumps from an elastic walrus skin held by her fellow celebrators. The women are all wearing Mother Hubbard dresses 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.
