“I have been making art since I was born. [laughs] My favorite thing to make is beaded bracelets. Here I have earrings made of mastodon and walrus tusk. I learned from the school. My dad taught me how to make necklaces too. If you see [U.S. Senator of Alaska] Lisa Murkowski on TV, see if she is wearing a bird pin. My dad made that. His name is Wilfred Olanna, Sr.” — Amos Olanna and Wilfred Olanna, Sr. are both Inupiaq and live in Shishmaref, Alaska. They were photographed in Nome, Alaska on their way home to Shishmaref.
