FACTORS INFLUENCTNG CURRENT FABRIC HOOD PRODUCTION rN ESKTMO POTNT, NORTIIhIEST TERRTTORTES. ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to analyze the current fabric hood production in Eskimo Point, Northwest Territories. This analysis provided a comprehènsive data base to determine if designs historically associated with other Arctic regions were currently being worn in Eskimo Point. Explanations for adoption of these designs were made. Data were collected from archival and museum sourcest and two months field research in Eskimo Point' in the spring of 1987. The field research procedures used were participation,/observation in hood and beadwork constructiont and unstructured interviews with residents. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of data revealed traditionally styled Caribou Inuit male and female hoods characteristic to the Eskimo Point area were v¡ornr âS well as two amautik hoods conmon to the Eastern Arcticr and two contemporary designed parka hoods. The designs historically associated with Eskimo Point were not as popular with the residents as were the design introduced from other areas. Conversations with the Eskimo Point residents suggested physical and social reasons for the diversity in designs. Significant factors were; the ease of transportation and communication of ideas and people; adoption of fabric to traditional skin designsi personal motivation to be fashion- able, the increased practicality of new designs and selective adoption of non-Inuit culture. These factors were aLso found to influence the adoption of other design features. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis was writÈen for the people of Eskino Point. Their enthusiasm and support for my study made my stay in the community enjoyable and productive. f would like to thank the residents of Eskimo Pointr âDd in particular Mayor Mark Kalluak and the Hamlet Council, for all their heIp.

Number of Fur Types Document,ed on Hood Designs 82 10 Chapter 1 Introduction The Arctic is one of the harshest environments in the world. To survive the severe conditionsr the Canadian Inuit utilized available resources and developed distinctivê forms of fur clothing. All traditional Inuit clothing consisÈed of several conmon components: bootsr slippers, pants, hooded jacket and miÈtens. The clothing designs varied in each Arctic region due to available resources, environmental conditions, and locaI sewing preferences. Variations in cut and decoration of key design features, such as the hood, hemline and shoulders, enabled one to identify the region and cultural group from which the garment came. The hood was one design feature which helped identify a distinct society of Inuit at Eskimo Point (Birket-Smith 1929 | 118). The community was established in the early 1900s on the west coast of Hudson Bay by an Inuit group caIIed Paallirmiut- a subgroup of the Caribou Inuit. The female parka had a long voluminous hood that feIl to below her but- tocks when down and fell onto her shoulders when pulled up over her head. The male parka was round with a sharp peak at the back and was fitted closely to the head. Traditionally, the hood design, in conjunction with other clothing design and decoration variations helped identify the paaLrirmiut from other Caribou Inuit societies and other Inuit groups in ge.neraI. Today' changes can be found in the paallirniut cloth- ing. New technologies, social organizations and values introduced to the community have artered their material and social cuLture. The effects of these changes are reflected through variat,ions in the paallirmiut clothing and clothing needs One significant change is the adoption of fabric to traditional clothing designs. originallyr the paallirniut used caribou skins which in conjunction with the design, provided ptotection from the harsh Arctic erements. Hudson Bay sroop Journals document the introduction of fabric to the Arctic region as a trade iten in the early 1700s in exchange for furs and sea mammal products. Early photographs taken in the area indicate fabric was being used to construct an entire garment by the early 1900s (public Archives of Canada, Donald B. Marsh Collection, *I978-39). Another significant change to paallirmiut clothing is the adoption of design features characteristic to other Arctic regions and rnuit communities. Although regional variations have persisted in skin clothing, traditional clothing designs of fabric have been strongly influenced by the diffusion of regionally specific clothing design features. According to Driscoll (1981, 148) design features such as the hood, historically associated with other Arctic regions, have been introduced and adopted by the paallirmiut of Eskimo Point due to increased transportation and communication of people and ideas. By observing these changes through an analysis of current fabric hood production in Eskimo Pointr a better understanding of changes to Inuit culture can be made.

To enhance the value of cursory visual' impressions, special tests under controlled conditions were performed. Information was obtained concerning problems of water balance and endurance, and also concerning the body tem- perature responses of Eskimos as compared with those of white men. RESULTS 1. Pure-breed Eskimos maintained warmer finger temperatures than white men during the first 1 to 3 hours of exposure to outdoor weather under identical conditions. These results suggest values to look for in the preselection of men for arctic duty and in the assessment of acclimati- zation changes.

    Fur Dress, Art, and Class Identity in Sixteenth- and Seventeenth-Century England and Holland By Elizabeth McFadden A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History of Art and the Designated Emphasis in Dutch Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Elizabeth Honig, Chair Professor Todd Olson Professor Margaretta Lovell Professor Jeroen Dewulf Fall 2019 Abstract Fur Dress, Art, and Class Identity in Sixteenth- and Seventeenth-Century England and Holland by Elizabeth McFadden Doctor of Philosophy in History of Art Designated Emphasis in Dutch Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Elizabeth Honig, Chair My dissertation examines painted representations of fur clothing in early modern England and the Netherlands. Looking at portraits of elites and urban professionals from 1509 to 1670, I argue that fur dress played a fundamentally important role in actively remaking the image of middle- class and noble subjects. While demonstrating that fur was important to establishing male authority in court culture, my project shows that, by the late sixteenth century, the iconographic status and fashionability of fur garments were changing, rendering furs less central to elite displays of magnificence and more apt to bourgeois demonstrations of virtue and gravitas. This project explores the changing meanings of fur dress as it moved over the bodies of different social groups, male and female, European and non-European. My project deploys methods from several disciplines to discuss how fur’s shifting status was related to emerging technologies in art and fashion, new concepts of luxury, and contemporary knowledge in medicine and health.

    May 16, 2011 Federal Trade Commission Office of the Secretary, Room H–113 (Annex O) 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20580 RE: Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking under the Fur Products Labeling Act; Matter No. P074201 On behalf of the more than 11 million members and supporters of The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), I submit the following comments to be considered regarding the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) advance notice of proposed rulemaking under the federal Fur Products Labeling Act (FPLA), 16 U.S.C. § 69, et seq. The rulemaking is being proposed in response to the Truth in Fur Labeling Act (TFLA), Public Law 111–113, enacted in December 2010, which eliminates the de minimis value exemption from the FPLA, 16 U.S.C. § 69(d), and directs the FTC to initiate a review of the Fur Products Name Guide, 16 C.F.R. 301.0. Thus, the FTC indicated in its notice that it is specifically seeking comment on the Name Guide, though the agency is also generally seeking comment on its fur rules in their entirety. As discussed below, the HSUS believes that there is a continuing need for the fur rules and for more active enforcement of these rules by the FTC. The purpose of the FPLA and the fur rules is to ensure that consumers receive truthful and accurate information about the fur content of the products they are purchasing. Unfortunately, sales of unlabeled and mislabeled fur garments, and inaccurate or misleading advertising of fur garments, remain all too common occurrences in today’s marketplace.
