Following a tradition of Excellence, the tiny community of Taloyoak high above the Artic Circle in the Boothia Peninsula has a population of less than 750 persons.

From this highly artistic community comes a strong group of women who take great pride in creating products based on ancient Inuit traditions.

This lovely lady is called a TEA DOLL. Her face is made of seal skin leather which has been dyed with an Inuit tea. The fur is very soft and the doll is totally hand stitched. This particular Tea Doll was made by Elktog Iegalliyug of Taloyoak. The price is set by the Canadian Government ( $250.00 ) to ensure that each Inuit Artist receives a fair share from the sale of their work
